A community association in southern Odenton has rejected a proposal to lift the age restriction on the Preserve at Two Rivers project, throwing a wrench in developers' plans to build more than 2,000 homes.

Interesting comment Dave. Frankly, Two Rivers already has approval to build a 2000+ community - the issue is that it is an age restricted community.
