Calvert County is getting national attention again, landing a feature in Business View Magazine’s June 2026 issue that profiles the county’s approach to balancing waterfront tourism, town-center growth, and farmland preservation.
The piece, part of the magazine’s regular “City View” section spotlighting local governments around the country, ran alongside profiles of Anne Arundel County and dozens of other municipalities that month. It’s Calvert’s second turn in the publication; Business View Magazine previously featured the county back in 2019. The magazine, which was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies in 2020, focuses on leadership and best practices at the local government level.
County Administrator Linda Turner led off the interview describing Calvert as a “bedroom-style community” where many residents commute to Washington, D.C., or Baltimore while still enjoying small-town character, waterfront access, and top-rated schools. Director of Planning and Zoning Jason Brinkley discussed the county’s March 2025 comprehensive rezoning, which reduced density allowances to manage growth, as well as the new county administration building’s role in revitalizing downtown Prince Frederick.
Director of Economic Development Julie Oberg touched on projects like the $40 million Armory Square retail redevelopment and the county’s push into workforce training for trades and emerging fields like quantum computing, while Director of Parks and Recreation Bob Branham spoke about the county’s beaches, campgrounds, and recreational programming.
The full feature is available on Business View Magazine’s website.
