LAND USE ON THE SHORE

Residents overwhelmingly value the open spaces, natural areas, slow-paced living, and high quality of life on the Eastern Shore. Unfortunately, the region’s character is changing as mega-development proposals like Blackwater Resort Communities threaten the very reasons people have for living here. Recent projections state that up to 160,000 people could move to the Shore in the next 25 years. The response to this unprecedented development pressure will shape life in the region and the health of the Bay - for generations to come.

CBF is working diligently in partnership with residents, business leaders, government officials, and community institutions to turn the tide toward better planned, better managed growth. With a quarter-million acres of forests and farms at risk for development, now is the time to take action. The following links will help you get started.
