UPDATE: The land swap has been completed.

Original story below…

KINGSVILLE, MD—For the past eight years, Councilman David Marks has been working to move a state-owned property—planned for a Maryland Transportation Authority maintenance facility—closer to Interstate 95. To accomplish this, the county would “swap” the land along I-95 with the state-owned property along Raphel Road closer to Bradshaw Road.

The Greater Kingsville Civic Association supports this proposal. It will move an industrial use away from farmland and residential properties and closer to the interstate highway where it belongs. Councilman Marks has also expressed support for creating a vision for Mount Vista Park, which is located between two parcels of land.

“I would like to thank the Hogan administration at the state level and the Olszewski administration locally for partnering to complete this transaction, which will move a noisy maintenance facility next to Interstate-95 and away from residential neighbors,” said Councilman Marks.

There will be a virtual meeting on Thursday, September 29th at 6:30 p.m. to discuss this concept.
