It’s one of the biggest redevelopment projects in the works in Prince George’s County. Even the state of Maryland has put millions of dollars into the redevelopment of the old Prince George’s Hospital Center, which is unofficially considered part of Cheverly.
The town’s borders stop at a fence line to the hospital property, and from Cheverly’s perspective, that will change once the old hospital site, now known as Hospital Hill, is fully redeveloped with new homes, retail and access to the town’s streets.
Plans even call for a handful of residential streets that dead end at the property line to extend directly into the rest of the town of Cheverly, something developers behind the project have said has to happen. Cheverly leaders said the only reason the town didn’t annex the site years ago was because the county advised against it so the redevelopment process would move faster.
Now, the town of Bladensburg could move forward with a plan to annex the site instead.
The move has caught Cheverly and the county off guard, and it would mean Hospital Hill would only be accessible from Route 202 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. If it goes forward, Cheverly warned it will pursue legal action.
“It was always understood it was going to be part of Cheverly,” Cheverly Mayor Kayce Munyeneh said.
