This is fantastic, thank you. Let's hope those parking garages at the MARC station get delayed a long long time!!!!

Correction on Meade Center: We are working with
prospective tenants. If the deals are signed, construction could begin before the end of the year.

Great update! Hopefully all of this will entice some more retail to Odenton, like a replacement for the StupidFresh and maybe some more fast food.

A Sonic Drive-in would be great!

Heck yea! We would love a Sonic. How about in place of the recently torn down building across from Ft. Meade at 175 and Charter Oaks!!

Mark - I was once told that a survey revealed Sonic as the #1 most-requested restaurant in Odenton. So you're not alone.

Thanks, Tim, and yes, the survey we did with the West Anne Arundel County Chamber revealed that Sonic was the #1 requested restaurant, and they are looking at the market.

As someone who works in Odenton, I'd love to see us get some more healthy food options for lunch. Fresh sandwiches, wraps, or soups would be ideal. I see plenty of options for fried stuff already.

I think a WholeFoods Market like the one at the Parole Towne Center would be awesome!

Just wondering if anyone knows of job openings with all the building that is taking place here. My son-in-law was a construction supervisor. He was excellent and worked at many positions. He was a liason between new homeowners and builders, he also supervised, managed work crews. Prior to that he installed sprinkler systems, then became a supervisor and inspector.

Anyone know what is going to be built at construction site at Rt 175 and Charter Oaks across from Dunkin Donuts?

The last plans submitted to the county for the site across from the Dunkin Donuts were for a BP gas station and convenience store. I sit on the Odenton Town plan Oversight Committee, and we had been asking for updates from county staff on that project, and they had been having problems getting in touch with Eastern Petroleum, the developers of the site, when all of a sudden, the buildings started coming down.

After reading some other articles, it seems that EP pulled out of the plans. If that is the case, I vote for Sonic.

I hope that in all of this planning and building something is created for the kids in this area. They have skating but basketball courts, tennis courts and skateboarding areas would be great for keeping all our kiddos busy and out of trouble. More safe walking areas would be good for everybody.

Is there anything is the works to get rid of the Royal Inn and some of the other problem areas on 175 past the Dunkin Dounuts?
