Development of Market Rate Housing

To mitigate high construction costs, the County will act as development partner and conduct all planning, design, engineering and construction in preparation of the site for said new housing units. This includes infrastructure (water, sewer, electricity, telecommunications, gas, roads), neighborhood improvements (sidewalks, signage, light standards) and administration (zoning approval, new roads approval, subdivision, legal framework). The goal is to mitigate almost all costs to the developer other than the construction of the units themselves, so that 1) the per unit price remains affordable to current residents and 2) that the neighborhood generates ample market demand, due to its modernity and livability. ECD wants to make the construction, sale and transfer of each new home a seamless process for the developer or developers chosen for this community. During the initial period of the bid opening, all potential bidders may ask questions until Monday, July 10, 2023. All questions will be answered in a timely manner that corresponds with Allegany County Procurement Policy and the Maryland Procurement Manual, and shall be published within 48 hours of the close of questioning
