Essex Middle River Waterfront Destination. Baltimore, Maryland.
The Baltimore County Department of Economic Development commissioned an assessment of a possible new waterfront destination with the hope of capitalizing on the unrealized potential of the area’s 175 miles of Chesapeake Bay. The site was home to three operating marinas: Buedel’s Marina, Riley’s Marina, and Cutter Marine and offers a waterfront setting with ready access to the Bay, over 400 existing boat slips, and has convenient access to I-695 and I-95.
