20070208 Eldersburg mall gets new chance at life

Kelsey Volkmann, The Examiner, February 8th, 2007

(Editor’s note: Hyperlinks for additional information - The Carrolltown Center is owned by Black Oak Associates. The upcoming meeting will be with the Freedom Area Citizens’ Council.)

Hat Tip: Eldersburg Today - from farms to suburbia: “Eldersburg mall gets new chance at life.”

Eldersburg, Md.

A developer plans to convert Eldersburg’s half-empty mall into a shopping center that mimics traditional downtowns.

“I envision a great place for the people of Eldersburg to gather, shop, eat and work,” said Dixon Harvey, an Owings Mill developer who owns Carrolltown Center on Liberty Road.

[…]

“All the time, I get questions about ‘What’s happening with Carrolltown mall?’ ” said Nicole Musgrave-Burdette, president of Freedom Area Citizens’ Council, a South Carroll residents’ group.

[…]

Harvey, who is president of Black Oak Associates, wants to convert the 330,000-square-foot mall into an open-air lifestyle center with retail, restaurants, entertainment and offices to give Eldersburg — an unincorporated community of 30,000 that lacks a Main Street — a town center.

Redevelopment is slated for 2008-09, according to Black Oak’s Web site, but Harvey said no timeline has been finalized because he is negotiating with Kmart, the mall’s anchor.

[…]

Harvey will speak at this month’s Freedom Area Citizens’ Council meeting.
