Commissioner reports net gain in Lexington Park-area businesses since 2023
Summary
In opening remarks a commissioner said he told the Lexington Park Business Association that the California community saw a net gain of 163 businesses and Lexington Park 75 since 2023, framing business growth and revitalization as priorities for the year.
A St. Mary's County commissioner told the Board that economic development in the Lexington Park area and the nearby community of California has shown measurable growth and that revitalization remains a priority.
Speaking about a Dec. 18 appearance before the Lexington Park Business Association (LexBA), the commissioner said, "we have a net gain since 2023 of 163 new businesses in that community" (referring to California) and that Lexington Park recorded a net gain of 75 new businesses. He described those figures as preliminary totals compiled before Dec. 12 and said additional openings had occurred since that date.
The commissioner said the county has worked with community leaders and LexBA to encourage business development along Great Mills Road and throughout Lexington Park. He described the growth as evidence that revitalization efforts are starting to take hold and said he will continue focusing on attracting investment and making the area hospitable to new businesses.
The transcript did not provide program names for incentives, specific funding sources, or a count of business closures; the numbers were presented by the commissioner as net gains since 2023.
