Developers want to put a 15-foot clock tower at the corner of Town Center Boulevard and Annapolis Road. What do you think?
A local developer is eyeing the corner of Town Center Boulevard and Annapolis Road for a clock tower and signage for local businesses. The Dolben Cos. has drawn up rough plans for the monument, which would be located adjacent to the Village at Odenton Station project near the MARC station. Members of the Odenton Town Center Plan Oversight Committee got a glimpse at the preliminary design on Tuesday night. The design features a 15-foot tower featuring the words "Odenton Town Center." The words "Village at Odenton Station" would be underneath in smaller lettering. In addition, the monument would feature space to advertise at least six businesses and would have a video display.

It has become a familiar sight in Odenton: large apartment buildings, rising along the town’s major thoroughfares.

I think the Odenton Town Center complex is perfect and just what we need. Integrated retail and residential zoning instead of the sprawl that covers the region so profusely.
