From Harford County government:
The independent consulting firm Thomas Comitta Associates, Inc. will present its findings from the Edgewood Small Area Study and opportunities for Edgewood’s redevelopment by the private sector on Wednesday, November 15 from 6 – 8 p.m. at Edgewood High School, 2415 Willoughby Beach Road in Edgewood. All stakeholders are welcome to attend the Nov. 15 presentation, which was rescheduled from October 18. Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask the consultants and representatives from the Harford County Office of Economic Development about the study and the respective roles of the private sector, the public sector, and the community.
“Once this first stage of the redevelopment plan is finished, we can begin to look for an infusion of private investment into this revitalization effort that can serve as a catalyst for new opportunities to attract the future workforce for continued mission support and growth of Aberdeen Proving Ground,” said Karen Holt, Harford County’s director of economic development. “The return on investment for this community initiative is job creation, career opportunities, and a stronger market.”
The administration under Harford County Executive Barry Glassman commissioned the Edgewood Small Area Study to assess existing resources, analyze market opportunities, and help drive revitalization efforts and job growth. Earlier public meetings gathered input from the community for the study, which explored ways to improve the quality of life in the area, particularly regarding the community’s relationship with Aberdeen Proving Ground. The study was funded through a federal program and is an implementation of APG’s Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) to advance the partnership between the community and the installation through resource planning and cooperative land use.
The final Edgewood Small Area Study will also be available on November 16 on the county website at www.harfordcountymd.gov/2356/14233/Edgewood-Small-Area-Study.
Questions about the presentation may be directed to Jake Adler, project coordinator in the Harford County Office of Economic Development, at 410-638-3414 or jzadler@harfordcountymd.gov.
“Thank you for attending tonight’s short redevelopment meeting for Edgewood….our proposal is simple. We will bring in 100 backhoes and dozers. We will level the entire area beginning with areas having the highest crime rate. We will then begin developing waterfront and water oriented communities to keep Harford County safe again. We believe its the white thing…excuse me….the RIGHT thing to do. Thank you again for coming…free donuts and coffee in the back”
Send Sec 8 citizens back to Balto City,
It is wrong to bulldoze lower income areas of Edgewood, if the less fortunate need help…………..Harford Count is certainly able to lend and hand the provide the assistance needed. We should be proud to be an uplifting voice in the area and welcome all who come.
BUT<<<< The DAGGER continues to screen reply's and it is wrong……………
The DAGGER also has a less then user friendly reply system because the CAPTCHA Code is unreasonably complicated and makes the citizens rewrite their comments several times.
Considering all the profanity, stupidity, and general meanness that does get printed, I shutter to think what kind of horror gets screened out.
Here’s a tip for the captcha issue: after typing your comment and entering your info, click the little refresh button by the captcha, then type in the fresh captcha code and submit. Works every time for me 😉
If you are having problems with your comments being accepted by the capture code system and are having to rewrite your comments over and over, try this. Highlight what you type, right click on your mouse and then “copy” it into your devices clipboard. When the capture system proclaims an error, just simply move to the field you type in, right click your mouse and select “paste”. Your comment will appear unchanged and then allow you to begin the capture process again. Just trying to save you some time and trouble…..
