I was pleased to announce today that the 54-year-old Perry Hall Square Shopping Center will be renovated, bringing a new look to one of the oldest commercial areas in northeastern Baltimore County.

In 2011, I sponsored legislation that created the Perry Hall commercial revitalization district, and since that time we made great progress in this part of Baltimore County. The derelict Regester Square shopping center was demolished, and new trees and landscaping have been planted. I am delighted by the upcoming improvements at Perry Hall Square, the first renovations since the early 1990s.

ARC Realty will invest at least $2 million into the shopping center.

Renderings of the improvements should be available later this month.
