Projects in Waldorf & La Plata

There are a few projects going up in the area, some getting started and some coming to completion.  It's a good sign that the economy is taking a turn for the good in Charles County.  Let's take a quick look at what's under construction in the area.

Community Bank of Tri County is expanding its offices on Leonardtown Road.  They are building a separate building tht will be connected with the existing one.

A new retail strip center is being built next to Lowes & Popeye's on Crain Highway.  Tenants include 7-11, Dairy Queen ice cream, and Benny's.

Buffalo Wild Wings is under construction in the former Uno's Location on the mall circle.  They are giving an opening date of late December.

The County is building the Waldorf West Library at the Wharf at O'Donnell Lake behind the St. Charles Town Center Mall.  They are at around 60 % completion.

A new retail center is under construction in La Plata next to Texas Roadhouse.  The first tenant will be Chipotle.

There is some highway construction going on in White Plains at the Billingsley Rd. Intersection to extend the turning lanes.  That should help keep traffic moving at the cross county connector.
That about covers all the larger projects in the area.  We will continue to keep you posted here or on our facebook page.

Waldorf West Library

The Waldorf West Charles County Library is now 25% complete.  It is located in the O'Donnell Park behind the St. Charles Mall.  The Waldorf West Library will be a state-of-the-art community learning facility, which will integrate modern technology to serve the needs of a diverse community, now and well into the future. The library is currently being designed to be certified as a green building through the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) third-party certification program. The design of the facility is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2010 and construction is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2012. The building itself will be a learning tool to teach users about the various elements that make it a green building.
