Citizens for Calvert

06/26/2026

What a night! Thank you all for coming out tonight! We came home with a to do list a mile long but we are certainly relishing in what it means to be a part of community, fellowship and everything that makes Calvert special.

It’s time to go to work!

Hello, Citizens!
A few housekeeping items before we get started!
Tomorrow is another 10:00 a.m. BOCC meeting, and we've heard there may be a listening party happening at the Southern Branch Community Center. Summer is also the perfect time to take advantage of the County's MeetingsOnDemand feature, which allows you to catch up on meetings whenever your schedule allows. If you can't attend in person, tune in online and follow along with many engaged residents and community groups, including our friends at Save Lusby, Inc holding down the fort at early voting!
We're also excited to share that we're finalizing plans for our first public meeting on June 25. Stay tuned for the Facebook event and additional details coming soon!

Finally, over the last week, we've had the opportunity to spend time out in the community, meet a few of you in person, and share what we've been building. So, we wanted to formally say hello! We might be the new kids to the discussion, but we feel like we can really add something meaningful. Citizens for Calvert was founded in April by local residents who wanted to create a space for community education, transparency, civic engagement, and collaboration. Since then, we've been researching, organizing, listening, learning, connecting with our neighbors, and building something we genuinely believe can make a lasting impact here in Calvert County.
We hope you will join us!🦀

Good afternoon, Citizens! 🦀
We have a few exciting updates to share, and things are starting to move quickly behind the scenes at Citizens for Calvert!
First, our website, CitizensForCalvert.org, officially launched last weekend! There you'll find information on upcoming public meetings, our Data Center Community Action Center, organizational updates, and resources related to proposed data center development in Calvert County.
Second, our Articles of Incorporation have officially been approved by the State of Maryland. This is a major milestone in establishing Citizens for Calvert as a nonprofit organization. While there are still a few steps before we are officially official, we are thrilled to be moving forward as a team.
✨We are also tentatively planning our first public meeting for June 25, 2026, and look forward to sharing more details soon.✨
Finally, four members of the Citizens For Calvert Board recently met with legal counsel to discuss ongoing concerns regarding proposed data center development in Calvert County. It was an informative and encouraging conversation, and we are grateful for the time, expertise, and guidance that was provided. We look forward to sharing more on that process in the near future.
None of this would be possible without the support, encouragement, and involvement of residents who care deeply about Calvert County and its future. We have always believed that meaningful change happens when communities come together, and we are very excited about what comes next.
There is still plenty of work ahead, but we're just getting started. If you'd like to get involved, collaborate, volunteer, or simply stay informed, send us a message or visit CitizensForCalvert.org.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us! 🦀

Hey everyone!
Reminder, this event is tomorrow! We will see you there!🦀

Good evening, Citizens for Calvert!
Tomorrow the BOCC returns for its regular meeting at 10:00 AM. You can tune in online or join your neighbors in person at the County Administration Building in the first floor Chesapeake Hearing Room. The agenda spans several pages and includes discussion of Text Amendment 26-23 in the afternoon, with public comment expected to begin around 3:10 PM.
Additionally, please make sure you have signed the petition supporting a two year moratorium on data center development in Calvert County. While this motion has been voted down before, every signature and every share sends a clear message that residents' concerns are real, widespread, and deserve to be taken seriously. The more community members who speak up, stay informed, and stay engaged, the harder it becomes to ignore these concerns. Please sign, share, and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same! https://c.org/YHpJ776YMF
