Demolition to begin on Chesapeake Street in Cambridge
CAMBRIDGE, Md. – The City of Cambridge is set to undergo renovations on Chesapeake Street starting with a city favorite, Club Dujour which will be torn down.
Renovation costs rose to a $2,000,000 estimate which City Manager Tom Carroll says is not economically feasible. However, by combining the land from Club Dujour and the land on the other side of Chesapeake Street both sides will have houses on them.
On Thursday, the city sat down with the community to announce the more affordable plan “My recommendation is to move forward with the demolition of this property behind us which is what we initially bought the property for but we took the time to stop and listen and make sure we were listening to the community input,” says City Manager, Tom Carroll.
10 to 20 homes will be built on the land off Chesapeake street. Demolition is set to start in the next 3 months on Club Dujour and the planning for the homes is estimated at 6 months before construction will begin.
