Message from BDC Chairman Carl Roberts:

Last evening the Bainbridge Development Corporation (BDC) hosted its annual meeting in a virtual format. As you read the Annual Report and other information on our website, you will note that much is going on with the Bainbridge property as we are optimistic that construction will begin in 2021. In addition working with the Maryland Historical Trust the buildings of Tome School are being assessed for feasible use as we move forward with a marketing program for this fifty acre site once the planning is complete.

I was thrilled to see all of the interest from the public as 30+ citizens joined the virtual format. In addition to elected officials or their representatives there were many interested citizens who took the time to learn more about were things stand on the site and what are the planned next steps.

The members of the BDC are thrilled to be able to present the public and especially the citizens of Port Deposit with positive news. Keep up to date on our happenings by checking this website periodically as we will keep you informed.

In addition, I want to publicly thank the fifteen members of the BDC for their hard work and commitment to fulfill our mission to return the formal Bainbridge Naval Training property to productive use.

Specific questions or comments should be directed to the BDC Project Coordinator - Ms. Toni Sprenkle, [email protected].

Again, thank you to all who participated in our Annual Meeting.

Chairman Roberts
