Below are updates to changes proposed for the Laurel Armory that also help address some of the follow-up questions I’ve received:
-
The originally proposed lease term with the National Boys & Girls Club of Prince George’s County was 15 years, but through further conversation they’ve agreed to a lease term that aligns with the current Administration.
-
Renovations proposed at the Armory will need to be approved by the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) before modifications begin since the Armory is a designated historic property. After the MHT’s approval, it will come before the City Council for approval.
-
Also, while it originally appeared as if the K-5 program was expected to start August 31, that beginning date may not be firm – I’m still awaiting clarification of this piece.
Will continue to keep folks posted on developments and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
(UPDATE: See updates to the above in my subsequent blog post.)
