looks like opportunity for Maryland officials who are prepared to invest state dollars to transform the largely vacant space into a bustling housing and commercial development Anne Arundel County officials agree with the state’s vision — mostly But the failure of a recent rezoning amendment before the County Council to allow greater housing density on the approximately 16-acre state-owned site abutting the end-of-the-line station puts the project at a crossroad While state officials wouldn’t say they’d abandon the project if the County Council doesn’t change the zoning Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman said in an interview that Democratic Gov Wes Moore’s administration came to the county with hopes of bringing so-called “transit-oriented development” to Cromwell Station but that the state typically invests money “where the zoning is friendly.” Pittman said the “the state will not prioritize that site” for transit-oriented development if the county doesn’t rezone it to its highest density mixed-use category And in a recent letter to Councilman Pete Smith Wiedefeld and Housing Secretary Jake Day said: “This can only occur if the site is rezoned.” Under Moore, the state has ramped up plans to redevelop parking lots next to its transportation hubs with apartments ease traffic by keeping cars off roads and bolster ridership of its underutilized trains Transit-oriented development also features throughout Anne Arundel’s general development plan with Cromwell Station identified specifically The state approached Anne Arundel about changing the property’s zoning to mixed-use urban near the end of the county’s comprehensive rezoning process for the area encompassing the station a Democrat who represents the northernmost part of the county had first right of refusal to introduce a rezoning amendment “I wasn’t necessarily enthusiastic about the request coming at the last minute,” said Smith adding that he didn’t have an opportunity to discuss the proposed change with leaders of the Ferndale community around the station Smith said he wants mixed-use development at Cromwell Station but he’s not sure it should be the highest density — adding that the community should have a say “I was surprised and a little shocked,” said Councilwoman Allison Pickard a Democrat who represents the district just south of Smith’s We want to be able to take advantage of this moment in time.” Pickard eventually introduced the amendment It came up for a vote at the council’s April 21 hearing Pickard said she was advocating for her constituents some of whom live within a quarter of a mile from Cromwell Station “The community has already waited two decades to see an investment from their government a Democrat who represents the Annapolis area urged Smith to vote for the amendment due to the county’s housing shortage and on behalf of “the people who don’t have an affordable place to live who are living two to three generations in a single-family home.” “We may not have another opportunity like the one that’s before us if we wait,” Rodvien told Smith “This is why we’re elected to make the decisions at the time they’re presented to us when we can’t have the extended discussions we might like to have.” “This is what the constituents that I have been communicating with have asked me to do,” Smith said “Those folks that are in there adjacent to this property who will be impacted in the Linthicum area all they’re asking for is a few months to have this conversation.” with Smith voting no along with the council’s three Republican members Smith said he left the door open for the state to have the zoning changed by an administrative hearing officer an administrative hearing officer must find that the council made a mistake in the comprehensive rezoning process or that the community around the property has changed The properties surrounding Cromwell Station are being rezoned the way the state wants a Democrat who represents western Anne Arundel said voting down the amendment was shortsighted and it would be difficult to get an administrative hearing officer to approve a zoning change “Because he would see that our legislative intent was we voted down the legislation,” she said “This is an area that impacts the economic growth and health of the whole county it’s not an individual neighborhood or something,” Hummer said “We have an obligation as council members to consider our own districts but also the bigger picture of the county as a whole so that means looking at what’s best for the long-term economic and social growth of the county.” Pittman’s administration arranged a meeting for Smith and officials from the state departments of transportation and housing and community development saying the state laid out its plans for the community engagement that “the council member is rightly requesting.” Weidefeld and Day said that developers submitting bids for the project would have to submit a community engagement plan outlining how they would “meaningfully engage” with residents Wiedefeld and Day said it typically takes three to four years from a project’s inception to the start of construction Their agencies were prepared to move forward on Cromwell Station in the fiscal year beginning in July Smith told The Banner that there’s agreement “that property should be some kind of mixed use.” “I just want to make sure Ferndale feels like they’re being heard and we’re not going to do anything in that area that’s not brought to their attention,” Smith said He said he reached out to community leaders for a virtual meeting to discuss a potential amendment to change the zoning Thursday’s council meeting for Pittman’s budget address is the last chance to amend the bill Something

Latest EditionEdition Edition 5 May 20255 May 2025All-powerful Anthony Albanese says give me some R.E.S.P.E.C.T Anne Arundel County has moved closer to allowing Maryland to try to create a vibrant apartment community at the Cromwell light rail station in Glen Burnie the County Council passed an amendment to rezone approximately 16 acres at the state-owned transit hub to allow up to 44 residences per acre This was the second time the measure was brought to a vote. The council voted it down 4-3 on April 21 who represents the district encompassing the station expressing concern about a lack of community involvement Maryland transportation and housing officials who had said they would only invest in the property if it was rezoned as well as County Executive Steuart Pittman scrambled to talk with leaders in the Ferndale community surrounding the station about officials’ vision for the property this much is certain: Cromwell Station is a perfect spot for transit-oriented development That has never been the issue,” Smith said Thursday now urging his colleagues to vote for the amendment to rezone the property “While I still have concerns about the speed of the land use changes over the last week what gives me hope and hopefully the community some comfort Smith said he was able to bring the amendment to leaders of the Greater Ferndale Community Civic Association whose membership voted Wednesday on whether to support the proposal “The results given to me were roughly half and half,” Smith said “While they might not always agree with every decision that I make even the half that didn’t necessarily want to move forward what I am comforted with is they were involved and aware of what was going on before we made the decision.” The amendment paves the way for the state to start the process of bringing transit-oriented development to Cromwell Station State officials had told Smith they were prepared to begin the development process in the fiscal year beginning in July — but only if the property was rezoned Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld welcomed the rezoning in a statement Thursday “The Council’s action enables MDOT to begin the process of delivering a meaningful Transit Oriented-Development that builds ridership in our transit system and makes good on the planned investments in transit in Governor Moore’s recently passed transportation budget,” Wiedefeld said “We look forward to moving this forward and engaging all of the critical partners and stakeholders Under Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, the state has accelerated plans to redevelop parking lots next to its transportation hubs with apartments Officials say such projects would reduce the state’s housing shortage ease traffic by keeping cars off roads and bolster ridership of its underutilized mass transit trains The state is already in the process of developing its MARC station in Odenton with the county’s support Transit-oriented development also features prominently in Anne Arundel County planning documents which identified Cromwell Station as a promising site “If you go back into the plans that have been laid before us since about 1997 transit-oriented development has been targeted here,” said Councilwoman Allison Pickard Pickard originally moved the state-requested rezoning amendment when Smith passed on it She implored her colleagues to vote in favor of it the first time and doubled down on her arguments Thursday “If you’re going to build housing near a transit station that’s where your density will be,” Pickard said “What you should really think about is how many people are getting off the road because they choose to take the light rail all the way to Baltimore to work.” She celebrated the vote in an interview following Thursday’s meeting describing it as an “exciting time for North County.” The Cromwell Station project aligns with the county’s effort to revitalize the Baltimore-Washington Boulevard corridor in Glen Burnie “Without that 24/7 activity of residential living It will be a vibrant community,” Pickard told The Banner She is leading efforts to reimagine the Glen Burnie Town Center which is less than a mile from Cromwell Station Eventual residents of a community at the light rail will be able to walk to the town center and “have an ice cream cone The amendment would allow for up to 704 residences on the 16-acre property but Pickard said most development projects in the county only reach about 70% of the maximum allowed because of environmental regulations and other oversight Smith said he and the community were relieved to find out that the state only wanted to rezone 16 acres rather than the more than 200 acres it owns around Cromwell Forty-four units per acre on the larger site would have equated to a “little city,” he said The community’s concern about Cromwell Station largely centers on crime and safety A “healthy conversation” with Pittman left him believing the county and state “can at least mitigate some of their concern.” a Democrat who represents the western part of the county said revitalizing the area would go a long way toward reducing crime small businesses and homes around the station any public safety issues are going to be mitigated,” Hummer said “I think we all know that some of our train stations right now look like big empty parking lots that aren’t the most inviting places to be sometimes and so anything but that would be an improvement.” A final vote on the comprehensive rezoning bill that includes Cromwell Station is set for Monday night Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman is proposing a budget that he said provides some protection against the chaotic changes to the federal government under President Donald Trump “The theme is protecting our people,” said Pittman in an interview ahead of his presentation of the budget Thursday to the County Council Pittman likened crafting the approximately $2.4 billion operating budget his seventh as the county’s top elected official to those that his administration put together during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic which upended the economy by putting countless people out of work fiscal uncertainty is attributable to Maryland’s budget crunch and Trump’s canceling of grants launching of a trade war and dramatic downsizing of the federal workforce where about 10% of residents rely on federal incomes “We came into it with a lot of concern about whether we would be able to continue the progress our county has been making [with] public safety and education and health and human service work,” Pittman said And the reason we were able to is that our county has been very very careful in the way we’ve done our budgets the county’s property tax rate would decline from 98.3 to 97.7 cents per every $100 of assessed property Income tax rates are unchanged from last year “I’m thrilled that he is holding the line on taxes,” said Councilman Nathan Volke “I think that is important especially given a lot of people’s economic concerns of just where the world is right now.” The proposed budget calls for spending about $100 million more compared to the last fiscal year with a record $52 million year-over-year increase for the public schools — about half of the increase the school board requested — and boosts to the police Pittman also proposes setting aside $10 million to backfill potential cuts to the approximately $33 million in federal grants the county expects and establishing a $300,000 fund to support families who are affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown which has seen many people deported without court hearings “We’re creating a fund both to help children who’ve lost a parent to deportation as well as to provide legal assistance so there is due process in immigration hearings,” Pittman said “We’re working with a lot of local nonprofits and churches on that effort.” With Trump imposing tariffs on imports from much of the world many economists are predicting a recession Pittman said he is preparing the county for that downturn by adding the legal maximum to its rainy day fund The county can tap into that money only if actual revenue falls short of projections Pittman said he was proud that “we are able to step up in a time when others are struggling to continue the progress that we’ve made and to protect our people scared of the impacts of what these changes at the federal level are having and that we can assure people that this county has a strong economic base a Democrat who represents western Anne Arundel County said in a February interview that she wants to be conservative with spending in this budget to make up for potential cuts to federal funds almost all of which are “directed to our most vulnerable residents.” special education and opioid overdose prevention “I’m very encouraged the county executive has put aside a fund that will be specifically for anything that is cut,” said Hummer The proposed $224.7 million for police represents a $6 million increase from last year’s budget and includes money that the department requested to fund an additional shift of its new Real Time Information Center a high-tech intelligence unit that helps officers respond to and solve crimes on the fly Pittman’s budget proposal calls for $12.6 million more to go to the fire department compared to the last fiscal year bringing that agency’s budget to $212.3 million will allow fire officials to hire five new instructors for the training academy enabling it to train two classes each year rather than one While Republican council members did not applaud when Pittman talked about his efforts to protect the county from the Trump administration the council as a whole appeared to support investment in public safety and education during the speech “That will be what makes our community as strong as possible,” said Lisa Rodvien a Democrat whose district includes Annapolis The $1.18 billion that Pittman proposes allocating to Anne Arundel County Public Schools represents about half of the county’s budget Those dollars would fund a 3% cost-of-living increase for unionized school employees while providing for 28 new special education positions two “bilingual facilitators,” 11 new social-emotional learning staffers and 14 program managers for schools serving areas with the highest levels of poverty Pittman described the record year-over-year increase to education as warranted noting that the school system has recorded improvements across several academic measures Board of Education President Robert Silkworth and Superintendent Mark Bedell applauded the proposed budget in statements following Pittman’s presentation “The County Executive and his team have worked very hard in what are complex and difficult financial times to continue to support the students of our county and our AACPS employees,” Silkworth said “We will obviously dive deeper into the proposal in the coming weeks and I look forward to working with the County Council to continue to make our school system even better.” Bedell said Pittman promised to invest in the county’s students when the pair first met in 2022 “This budget is yet further fulfillment of that promise and a significant step forward as we continue to help every student Belong The school system anticipates $90 million in federal funds in the coming fiscal year against the backdrop of Trump’s crusade against schools teaching about race and diversity “The exposure on the federal side is in the back of their minds always and in the back of our mind but you can’t plan for what hasn’t been cut You have to budget what‘s been funded,” Pittman said “This is based on contractual obligations with the federal government.” Pittman noted that the Trump administration has faced court challenges when cutting grants without congressional approval the council has about six weeks to finalize the budget The council can cut from the budget unilaterally but cannot add to it without working with the county executive “I look forward to digging into the details and seeing if there’s anything we can do to make it even better,” Rodvien said there are no recent results for popular articles there are no recent results for popular images there are no recent results for popular videos there are no
