Anne Arundel starts redevelopment planning for former hospital site, approves repaying state for pandemic expenses

All three major tenants at the long-abandoned hospital complex in Crownsville now have a new landlord: Anne Arundel County. The Anne Arundel County Food Bank, which operates a roughly 32,000-square-foot warehouse and provides meals to those who are food insecure, had its state lease assumed by the county, as did Hope House Treatment Center. On Monday night, the County Council unanimously approved a new lease for Gaudenzia Addiction Treatment and Recovery Services, securing the final deal for the three major tenants on the now county-owned land.
