EASTON — Chesapeake Community Development, a community development corporation based in Linthicum, recently acquired two parcels of land from Perdue Agribusiness in Easton.
The lots, located at 505 Brookletts Avenue and 410 Needwood Avenue, will be the future homes of two mixed-use communities: Easton Crossing and Silo Square.
“Our vision is to bring a vibrant multi-purpose space to the community that incorporates a wide range of amenities and resources, including much-needed housing,†Consulting partner and VP of Community Development Ross Benincasa said.
“Our goal is to partner with the community to create a vibrant multi-purpose space called Easton Crossing on the Brookletts property. Easton Crossing will feature a mix of housing, including opportunities for affordable and market-rate rentals, as well as homeownership. The site will also include retail and recreational spaces and will reflect the diverse needs of the community around it,†said Jonathon Rondeau, president & CEO of The Arc Central Chesapeake Region.
“On the Needwood property, Chesapeake Community Development is creating Silo Square, a thriving neighborhood that will support the various housing needs of the community by offering quality affordable and market-rate rentals,†he said.
In the coming weeks, Chesapeake Community Development will announce the dates of its upcoming community meetings, where the organization will share the initial plans for Easton Crossing and Silo Square and solicit feedback that will influence further development of the site plans.
All community meetings will be recorded, and the recordings and transcripts will be shared with all attendees. Additionally, an online feedback tool will launch in the early summer for community members to submit their commentary virtually, the company said in a news release.
Pending engagement sessions and site plan approval, construction is anticipated to begin roughly in 2027.
Chesapeake Community Development is a subsidiary of The Arc Central Chesapeake Region (The Arc). Together with The Arc and Chesapeake Neighbors, Chesapeake Community Development is partnering with several shore-based organizations to lead the construction of Easton Crossing and Silo Square.
