Re: Granted.........
Of course it would be on a different scale, but what they did in Clarendon is pretty amazing. Took a run down, pretty nasty area and rebuilt it (still in the process). Right now you would go to it and probably still wouldn't want to live there, but when they finish people will begin to change their mind. Because of the location, Lexington Park COULD be a really great place, and not just a place where people pop in for lunch, then drive by it on their way home.
But conisdering how long it takes them to widen a road there, I can't imagine the timeframe for a revitalization project. But it is something that is needed, and yet another thing that would greatly benefit the people there.
I saw some proposals before about LP, and you would have thought I had drawn them up. Nice tree lined sidewalks, open grass areas, brick sidewalks, and of course the ever important fountains
But when I was following it, it was always being pushed back to next year because of a lack of funding. But they will have even a greater lack in funding when businesses decide to move out of there and up to charles or calvert county.

I don't think I could have imagined that the county would allow for so much empty commercial space. We need an enterprise zone to revitalize Lexington Park....
