How about the farmers market?...
There are plans on the table for the Walmart in LaPlata to become a super Walmart.
GET OUT!!! Really? Where did you hear this?
People are too damn lazy to get in there car and drive anymore. Seriously, I moved into a rural area for a reason.
That's going to become a neighborhood.Don't forget about all of that farmland across from Burchmart/7-Eleven - BOCC just did some rezoning for the boat storage. I'm sure they would rezone more for Wal-Mart!
I know of someone who works for the town of LaPlata and these plans were in the making last year. Ill have to ask if he has heard anything more about it. They were going to extend the store toward the north where that wooded area is.
I heard a WaWa is going up there on your corner by Oliver Shop.![]()
From what I know of the relationship between Burroughs and Jarboe, each would fight any plans the other had for their properties there, money be damned.That would be nice to clean up that area, wipe out the Farmers Market and put something more appealing to the eye.
Have you seen the plans for Hughesville Station and the Bargain Barns? Not sure who owns those 4 stores but doesn't seem very bright to build without having someone interested in moving in first. New empty store fronts/strip malls sitting all over Charles County, not just Hughesville. Also, the rent they are/were asking is totally unrealistic.
Yes I have, think it took that guy about 18 months to plan out that project and get the blessing of the Hughesville people.
The Bargain Barn plan would be really nice if they could some way make the buildings a little more attractive. The owner of Harley Davidson owns a couple of the barn buildings and several of the buildings in town (the old bank building is one of them) and with his money backing any projects planned, it could be a asset for Hughesville.
I see a lot of trucks parked along the Barns in the evenings. Any idea what is going on in there? Heard they were working on fixing up the insides but I've also seen families with kids in what looks like sporting attire going in.
The guy that planned the Hughesville Station project was considerate and took the time to work with the people. Hope it turns out to be a great success for him.
Good grief. There's 1 Walmart in the counties that surround us...Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, and Caroline County. So. MD is crawling with them.![]()

The problem with Hughesville is the bypass is too effective. Kind of like what the Interstate Highway did to Rt. 66. Whatever goes into Hughesville has to be something that will draw people in on it's own and have broad appeal.Yes I have, think it took that guy about 18 months to plan out that project and get the blessing of the Hughesville people.

The land that the farmers market is on will never be sold.Ben Borough's owns all of the land in that area, up to Freds Liquors. He won't sell any of it. Thats why the 7-Eleven closed down, he only does ten year leases and they didn't want another ten year lease, and he wouldn't sell. And I don't think Larry Jarboe would either, I think that sawmill has been in his family for quite a while.
