Meeting Announcement
The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works (DPW) would like to inform you about a Capital Improvement Project in your area. This project is part of the County’s ongoing efforts to maintain and improve critical infrastructure that supports safe, reliable and sustainable communities

A public meeting has been scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at the Eastport - Annapolis Neck Library to discuss plans to develop a 19.4-acre parcel at the southern end of Quiet Waters Park known as Quiet Waters Retreat.

The Project
This project is for the design and construction of the development of the 19-acre former Quiet Waters Retreat property adjacent to the existing regional park. The new area will feature trail-based discovery, habitat restoration, and naturalistic amenities. Features such as scenic overlooks, a rehabilitated boathouse platform, and informal spaces designed to preserve specimen trees, protect sensitive slopes and enhance views of the South River and Loden Pond.

The parcel would include pollinator meadows, outdoor classrooms, a nature kiosk, a boathouse platform, overlooks and trails. The development would encourage habitat conservation, ecological restoration and passive environmental learning. It would protect the site’s natural assets while allowing for low-impact public access.

Construction is tentatively slated to begin in fall 2027 and be completed by spring 2028. Work hours would be 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekdays.
