Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman sworn in to second term at Crownsville Hospital Center

County Executive Steuart Pittman was sworn-in to a second term Monday at Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park, a location specifically chosen to represent what the Democrat hopes to achieve over the next four years. Thanks to Pittman’s leadership, the long-abandoned hospital buildings, riddled with toxic chemicals, were transferred to county ownership and are set to become a hallmark project of his second term. Pittman plans to transform the property — after extensive remediation — into a nonprofit incubation center, a hub for behavioral health resources and a memorial to those who were mistreated at the site.
