Come out and support Citizens for Calvert !!!

Hello Citizens!

Thank you to everyone who has filled out our Google form and shared it with your networks. We truly appreciate it. Taking the step from reading about an issue to getting involved is not always easy, and it means a lot to see so many people ready to show up. If you signed up, keep an eye out for a welcome email from us this week.

Tonight, we are encouraging our community to come out to the Planning and Zoning meeting. With the recent comments about potential home buyouts on Camp Conoy and HG Trueman, and ongoing conversations around the park, and presence near the schools, this is an important moment to be present and informed.

Say hello! to Karl and Nancy of Camp Canoy who will be there, along with our friends at Save Lusby Inc, and we hope to see many of you as well. Sometimes the most impactful thing you can do is simply show up. You will leave more informed, and you might just find your people along the way.

We at Save Lusby wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who came out to last night's General Meeting to hear our updates about our ongoing lawsuit against the Lusby Villas (almost at the 2 year anniversary mark) as well as updates regarding data centers!

We also wanted to thank some guest attendees, some of who don't live in Lusby, that came out to hear how overdevelopment projects like the Villas and the Data Centers are impacting those of us living here everyday. Some have been supporting since the beginning, and others newly joining the rally. Thanks for hearing us out and being open to what we are facing here.

As our mission statement says - we want to advocate, educate, and collaborate with local leadership to help preserve the beauty that is Lusby and want to be involved more regarding any responsible growth that would come to our town!

We also know Citizens for Calvert is continuing to pick up steam to focus on the data center discussions and next steps, so be sure to follow them for upcoming meetings and opportunities to help!

**Grassroots Support**

Hello Lusby!

💡We remember when we kicked off our fight back in 2024 against the Lusby Villas how important it was to get information out to you in all facets possible. We had help thanks to groups established in Calvert to spread the word. Now it's our turn to show up and show out!

Citizens for Calvert is ramping up in organizing! They need your love!

They have created a survey for folks to complete with the level of information/involvement you want to participate with regarding Data Centers in Calvert.

✍️Complete and pass along to others! Calvert is seeing the struggles Lusby is facing with overdevelopment and we're so grateful!

🧑‍⚖️We are still in our thralls of the Lusby Villas and Maryland Appellate Court and are around $4,000 short of our $15,000 attorney fees.

As always, Save Lusby Inc will appreciate any support you can provide to our efforts. If you would like to contribute to our attorney fees and are in a place to do so, there are two ways you can do so:

**NOT VILLAS RELATED, BUT LUSBY RELATED**

Many fellow Lusbians have been keeping track with the rapid push on Data Center Development with Lusby being at the I-2 Heavy Industrial zoned area for these projects.

As we continue to advocate, showing up and speaking up at Planning and Zoning, and BOCC Meetings are crucial. Speaking up means your voice is documented on your feelings for this occurring in our town. We need to keep the pressure on our current county officials that we are displeased and demand action!

Tuesday April 21st is a big meeting day for Calvert. And your voice and action are needed! Whether it is Villas related, or Data Center related, or both!

1. Attend/Dial In the Planning Commissioners Meeting at 7:00pm on April 21st where the proposed text amendments from the BOCC will be discussed with the Planning Commissioners.
In Person: First floor of the County Administration Building, 150 Main St. in Prince Frederick.
Dial-in number: 929-229-2458
Meeting ID: 202-970-551

All agendas, previous meeting minutes, and videos can be found here: https://www.calvertcountymd.gov/1501/Meetings-On-Demand

Let's continue to stand up, speak up, and show out for our neighbors and our community to keep Lusby and Calvert beautiful!

We are !

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) recently voted to introduce text amendments to the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance that establish additional requirements for any proposed data center development. These amendments are intended to further restrict and regulate where and how data centers may be developed.

The proposed amendments would prohibit the use of on-site wells for cooling, impose stricter emissions standards for backup generators, strengthen stormwater management requirements and require developers to fund all necessary infrastructure upgrades needed to support their project. They would also remove data centers as a permitted use in the Light Industrial (I-1) District and restrict them to the Heavy Industrial-2 (I-2) Districts.

The Planning Commission will review the proposed amendments at its rescheduled regular meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 7 p.m. at the County Administration Building located at 150 Main St. in Prince Frederick. View the recording of the recent joint special meeting of the Planning Commission and Environmental Commission at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouJXsqZ6BN0.

At this time, no specific project has been formally submitted to the county for approval or denial. No application has been filed, no formal request has been made and no vote on a facility is scheduled before the Planning Commission or the BOCC. Tuesday’s Planning Commission meeting will focus on reviewing these zoning amendments, not on approving or denying a specific data center project.

If and when a specific proposal is formally submitted, it will be evaluated through the established public process, with all facts, details and impacts clearly presented. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.

**MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD: BOCC MEETING APRIL 7TH**

Hello Lusby!

The BOCC will have their Tuesday meetings at 10:00am on April 7th. At this meeting the proposed moratorium will be voted on. Public comments are allowed toward the end of the meeting, and this is where you can speak up.

🗣️Whether you want to speak on the Lusby Villas Development, Data Center questions, NDAs, etc. this is where your statements can go on record.

💪 Showing up in person or dialing in/watching live on YouTube (but you cannot make statements on YouTube), numbers show that more people in Lusby and Calvert are paying attention.

Reminder that there are demonstrations on Saturday and Monday April 6th in Solomon's and Lusby regarding the rapid development concern of Data Centers.

Do not forget that there are also Planning and Zoning meetings on Wednesdays where things such as The Lusby Villas and Data Centers can start growing. Be sure to pay attention to those agendas as well!
