Arundel looking for its 'niche'


 
ARUNDEL — Arundel is buzzing with thoughts for the future as the Economic Development Committee and Planning Board collaborate to create a marketing strategy to bring more —and the right kind of — businesses to town.

The Planning Board, which traditionally meets twice a month, has increased to three or even four times a month as it works on zoning ordinances and attempts to re-write Arundel's map for bringing in new businesses.

Tad Redway, town planner for Arundel, said the current discussion about Route 1 is "just one piece of the puzzle."

"We're focusing on that right now because of the complications with writing the new zoning," Redway said.

But land near River Road and Log Cabin Road, as well as the Route 111 corridor, will eventually all be spoken about for possible development, he said.

"Our business center area has other sections in town that no one has even heard us talk about yet because we haven't gotten there yet," Redway said. "We're trying to move Arundel into the next decade with more business and residential balance."
