Economic summit outlines new businesses in Charles

During Tuesday’s Charles economic development fall meeting, Mark Thompson, chief of commercial development, boasted how busy his team has been with all of the groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings in the past year. “While our plate is pretty full, I’m not done yet,” he said. One of those developments is Waldorf Station, a mixed-used project that acts as the “northern gateway” into the county, Thompson said during the meeting at the College of Southern Maryland. There is a site for the development along Route 301 and another at Mattawoman Beantown Road, also called Waldorf Station East. New businesses such as honeygrow, Starbucks, Inspire Nails and Potbelly are at the Route 301 site, and Stanley Martin Homes will build 213 townhomes at Waldorf Station East. Farther south is Berry Pointe Business Park, which will have Chesapeake Potomac Regional Cancer Center as its first tenant, Thompson said. There will also be a day care center and gas station. The next phase of the project will begin in 2027. MedStar Shah Medical Group broke ground on a 10,000-square-foot facility next to its location on St. Patrick’s Drive off of Route 301, Thompson said.
