ELKTON â Plans continue on the Southfields Planned Use Development project with dirt work anticipated to begin on several portions of the project later this year.
Southfields PUD developer Ray Jackson of Stonewall capital provided an update during a special workshop meeting of the Elkton Town Council that included timelines for various portions of the project.
Jackson noted that conversations are ongoing with the various strategic partners including the town and development partners on various portions on the project.
Jackson said the first part of the plan would be the development of infrastructure, including the main boulevard for Southfields off of Maryland 213, the water tower, sewer pump station and other related projects.
ELKTON â After several months of contemplating two proposed resolutions regarding the creation of a special taxing district for the Southfields Planned Use Development project, the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton approved resolutions, which will allow the issuance of bonds to fund infrastructure improvements for the project.
The town held its second public hearing on the issue Wednesday, and just like the first public hearing, no one from the public spoke either for or against the resolutions. After the public hearing, the mayor and commissioners voted to approve both resolutions.
The two related resolutions establish a special taxing district encompassing certain parcels of land connected to the Southfields project and authorize the issuance of bonds for the purpose of funding public improvements for the district.
