CREG vs harford county
On February 28, 2023, Chesapeake Real Estate Group filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against Harford County, accusing them of intentionally delaying the approval process for their proposed Mitchell Property mega-warehouse development project.
CREG is asking the Court to “order the County to immediately issue approvals for CREG’s Series 3 Final Development Plans”
Harford County responded, “CREG has purposely neglected to inform the Court of the ever-expanding scope of the project. The residents and businesses currently utilizing the limited infrastructure serving the Perryman Peninsula are as likely if not more likely to suffer substantial and irreparable injury as CREG.”
