What a DAY yesterday, Lusby!

The turn out at yesterday's BOCC meeting was incredible. This is what grassroots is all about!

A 6-Month Moratorium with amendments was voted 5-0 to put in place to allow more research regarding impacts from Data Centers on small communities like Calvert. This will expire February 28, 2027 when at least a majority new board will be in place.

Showing up, dialing in, writing in, however you can participate can bear fruit!

Congratulations to the efforts that groups like Citizens for Calvert and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network are putting forth.

Also shout-out to Charles County Against Data Centers Group for coming to support Calvert!

In the recent Board of County Commissioner public comments on July 28th, Mr. Johnny Gott has made his statements regarding the Lusby Villas project.

To reiterate - we at Save Lusby, Inc consulted an attorney in August of 2024 regarding the process in which this project was approved. In this consultation, four legal arguments were developed regarding the process with the case sent to the Maryland Appellate Court to be heard. As of today, there is no date on this court case due to backlogged cases.

At this time, we remain steadfast in what our legal team has developed in this case. Details of our case arguments and video resources can be found on Savelusbyinc.com and additional timelines regarding this project can be found on protectcalvert.org.

Promoting responsible growth, collaboration with local leaders, and community education

It feels like just yesterday when we retained our attorney in 2024...the nerves, the excitement, the OMG WHAT'S NEXT?

While we are $3,500 short of our attorney fees to be fully paid, Citizens for Calvert is just ramping up! We as a little town raised about $47,000 for our cases in two years, which is AMAZING.

We will continue to support them on their journey as we keep up with ours.

If you are in a place to support one or both of our efforts, you can find appropriate sites to donate to attorney fees.
