(April 13, 2017) The potential for a new housing development, or other projects in Snow Hill, will be discussed during a meeting at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 18 at the Train Station on Belt Street.
Leading the meeting will be Michael Glass, founder and managing partner with the Waterfall Group, a multi-platform real estate and financial services enterprise founded last October.
Snow Hill Mayor Charlie Dorman said Glass would review potential development concepts for a 400-acre parcel, which was part of the 1,000-acre plot proposed for the Summerfield housing and retail development that was stalled after the 2008 economic downturn.
“They’re trying to see if we can build apartment houses or housing,” Dorman said.
The site could see approximately 300 homes built in the future, although no concrete plans have been formed, Dorman said.
“This is more for people to hear some of the ideas and to see what’s out here,” he said. “They’re going through all different scenarios.”
Doman hopes the meeting is productive and is waiting to see what pans out from the discussion.
“It depends on which way we would like to go – we being the council – and then [Glass will] develop from that a site plan,” he said. “The main thing is does the town have the sewage capacity to support what he’s asking for, and that’s what were trying to find out.”
Dorman said Kevin Karpinski, Snow Hill town attorney, would be in attendance to lend a legal perspective.
“He [Glass] wants to do something and he wants to know whether he’s got the EDUs to do this and to see if the town leaders would support what he’s after,” he said.
Matt Odachowski, who first proposed the Summerfield development more than a decade ago and recently purchased 400 acres of the original parcel, adjacent to the Pocomoke River, will introduce Glass.
