In a post shared on its official Facebook page, Worcester County Government reported that Commissioner Caryn Abbott joined representatives from Davis Strategic, Mayor Todd Nock, and community members on December 4 to break ground on the Drawbridge Villas project. The effort marks a partnership between the county, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, and Davis Strategic. According to the county, plans call for 25 townhomes to be offered for sale at a $50,000 discount under the state’s Project UPLIFT initiative. The program is intended to improve housing affordability for working families. Commissioner Abbott said the project supports ongoing state and local goals to expand workforce housing opportunities in Worcester County.
Construction at the site is expected to move forward as part of broader efforts to help more residents secure housing near jobs and services. The county states additional information on the program and eligibility will be provided as development progresses.
