Warfield at Historic Sykesville Breaks
Ground
Westminster, MD, Thursday, July 26, 2018 – The Carroll County Board of Commissioners joined the
Warfield Companies’ partners, members of the Carroll County Delegation and town
officials in the Town of Sykesville today to celebrate the official
groundbreaking at Warfield at Historic Sykesville. As onlookers viewed the ceremony
on the property, bulldozers moved in the background to prepare for the first
phase of the project – the construction of 145 townhomes by Elm Street
Development.
Featured
speakers mentioned the Warfield project’s long history with the State of
Maryland, Carroll County Government, the Town of Sykesville, the Industrial
Development Authority, the Warfield Companies and many private companies
working together to envision, plan and complete the deal that led to the
groundbreaking ceremony.
“This
project represents years of hard work and collaboration and I am thrilled to participate
in this celebratory groundbreaking today,” County Commissioner for District 5
Doug Howard said, “It is an excellent example of strong partnerships and
compromise where many people advocated for what they believed in, but kept
their eye on the prize; and ultimately everyone reached the common goal.”
Carroll
County Economic Development Director Jack Lyburn added, “Warfield at Historic
Sykesville will be a premier mixed-use development project that will redefine
the Town of Sykesville as a hub of business and commercial enterprise in South
Carroll.”
Lee
& Associates is already marketing the available commercial space and the
partners plan to renovate the remaining historic buildings to restore them to
their former glory. The project also includes three parcels for new commercial
development.
The
ceremony will be available on the county YouTube
channel, the
county Facebook page, and re-broadcast on Comcast Channel 24.
