Anne Arundel County acquires Severn-Danza property to create public fields, walking trails, new school

Anne Arundel County finalized the $3 million purchase of undeveloped Severn land that it plans to convert into a park and later make available for a new school. The County Council voted unanimously Monday night to approve the terms of the acquisition. A feasibility study of the undeveloped property concluded the two parcels, totaling 30 acres, can be made into a park with athletic fields and walking trails and, down the road, could be the site of a secondary school for west county, which has experienced rapid population increases, officials say.
