The Patuxent Cove community won Maryland tax credits to draw private investment into Lexington Park to address a shortage of affordable housing in St. Mary’s County. The award, based on the demand for more affordable and workforce housing in the region, also indicated a specific need to address veteran homelessness. And also accessibility. Patuxent Cove is handicap accessible.

Along with the state of Maryland’s tax credit program, the St. Mary’s County commissioners helped leverage private investment for the $22 million apartment complex. The county delayed collection of the increase of the property’s value during its early years. The tax adjustments save sufficient costs to make the developments more attractive to private investors. The ultimate increase in the value of the property both rewards the investor and an increasing property tax return for the governments as well.
