Development
The Greater Cheverly Sector Plan is key to understanding development in the Cheverly area. The document was drafted by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) and the Prince George’s County Planning Department, with input from the community and the town government. Read the full report.
The town of Cheverly has a planning board (link to town website). Members of the community serve on the board.
Sign up to get notifications from MNCPPC. This is a great way to stay informed of developments affecting your community.
Recent planning and development projects include:
The redevelopment of Hospital Hill (link to Prince George’s County website). The Prince George’s County Hospital, which was located on the northwest corner of town, off Route 202 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, has closed its Cheverly location and is relocating to Largo. The town of Cheverly is considering next steps for how the property formerly used by the hospital may be repurposed for the good of the community.
Washington Gateway: Prologis (developer/landlord) and Amazon (tenant). Property in the business park to the southeast of Ward 4 is being developed by Prologis for Amazon to occupy. While technically the property is outside of the bounds of Cheverly, representatives from Prologis have been actively in touch with the Town of Cheverly and with the Ward 4 Civic Association, in order to hear and address residents’ concerns about the development. Prologis has contracted with an engineering firm to get input from the community and design traffic calming devices in the “Old Fourth Ward” streets south of Route 50, to discourage delivery vehicles from using the neighborhood as a usual thoroughfare, and to reduce speeding. Prologis paid for this work, not the town.
Claybrick Road / Washington Circulator. Washington DC government intends to use a property on Claybrick Road (near but not part of the town of Cheverly: off Sheriff Road) to build a facility for Washington Circulator buses to be housed and repaired. Various stakeholders, including the mayor and council of Cheverly, are considering the potential impact on us.
