About the Kent Narrows Development Foundation

Background

The Kent Narrows Development Foundation was created in May 1990 to facilitate the revitalization of the Kent Narrows, a 955-acre waterfront area which has been identified as a strategically important asset for the future of Queen Anne’s County.

The Foundation’s mission is to provide guidance and oversight for the formulation of a strategy to balance new economic growth, community redevelopment, support for the County’s fishing and seafood industries, and public access to waterfront activities and amenities.

The Foundation is also concerned that environmentally sensitive areas within the Kent Narrows be preserved and contribute to the character of this unique Eastern Shore community.

The Kent Narrows Development Foundation Board generally meets the

4th Tuesday of every month with an exceptions during the month of December.

Meetings are open to the public.

If you would like to attend and request assistance with accommodations, please contact us at least two working days before the scheduled meeting.

Our building is accessible and has an elevator with an outdoor entrance.

Social distancing may be practiced at meetings when the QAC health department advises it.
