May 2024 Updates

The month of May brings a sense of happiness and delight to many people. The blooming flowers and warmer weather transitioning from spring to summer create a feeling of joy in the air. People often spend more time outdoors during May, enjoying the beauty of nature. The joy of May reminds us to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and embrace the happiness that surrounds us. 

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” ― Henry James

Looking at the comments over and over I think people forget that Waldorf is the main area of Charles County and that's where its supposed to have the most development.  St. Charles Development was planned in the early 60's.  All the homes sites were planned years in advance.  

"These developers are destroying all the trees and there wont be any left."  Maybe take a drive a mile or so off of 301 and you will see that there are farms, parks, forests and protected wetlands all over.  50% of the county will always stay green according to the comprehensive plan. Here is the link but its a big document:

You say you aren't informed?  Here is the schedule of Charles County commissioner meetings.  Go and make a statement:

This is the full lineup of tenants for the Brandywine Village next to 7-11 and Taco Bell on Chadds Ford Drive.  The last tenants added area a dentist and Zips Cleaners.  Edit: Fresh Green has backed out.
Price Busters Furniture will take over the former Office Depot space at Waldorf Marketplace.
We attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Fairway Village Shopping Center.  This is located at the corner of Billingsley Road and St. Charles Parkway.  It will have a state of the art 60,000 square foot Weis market as the anchor tenant.  They said it will look at nice as a Harris teeter.  It will also have a McDonalds, Kinder Care, Heartland Dental, Eggspectation restaurant, Haircuttery, Saleya Nails and Spa and more tenants on the way. 
Current layout for the new section of the Charlotte Hall Center.  Starbucks will join Chick-fil-A and Aldi on the former farmers market space.  Royal farms is still coming to the Wentworth corner.
