Construction team of Wohlsen chosen for Edgewater's Recreation and Community Centre development project
**Edgewater Recreation and Community Center Project Moves Forward with Wohlsen Construction Team**
The Edgewater Recreation and Community Center project in Anne Arundel County is making significant progress, with the selection of the Wohlsen Construction team to lead its development. This team, comprising Wohlsen Construction, Becker Morgan Group, and Cap Ex Advisory Group, was chosen after a competitive process overseen by an interagency evaluation committee.
The team brings a wealth of experience in complex, design-build projects, including university recreation centers and YMCA facilities. They are known for their emphasis on collaboration, community engagement, and delivering projects on time and on budget. Cap Ex Advisory Group, in particular, contributes expertise in economic development and public infrastructure, offering creative solutions to budget challenges and strategies for phased construction and supplemental funding.
Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman expressed his excitement about the project, stating that it reflects the community's vision to transform an existing eyesore into an asset. The goal is to create a high-quality, resilient facility that serves residents of all ages now and for generations to come. The project underscores the county’s commitment to thoughtful design and resilient infrastructure that meets evolving community needs.
The Edgewater Recreation and Community Center will transform a long-vacant site into a vibrant community hub, featuring sustainable and resilient design, modern recreation facilities, accessible programs, and community resources. The winning team, including Wohlsen Construction, Becker Morgan Group, and Cap Ex Advisory Group, has demonstrated their dedication to refining the project's design to ensure it meets the needs of the community.
The selection of the Wohlsen Construction team follows a competitive request for proposals and a thorough review by an interagency evaluation committee. Out of more than 30 firms that submitted proposals, the Wohlsen team was chosen for their technical expertise and alignment with Anne Arundel County's vision for resilient, community-centered development.
It is important to note that the Edgewater Recreation and Community Center is not related to the former Giant in Edgewater, the new senior center, or the community garden in Edgewater. The project is a standalone initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents in the area.
In summary, the Edgewater Recreation and Community Center project is in the development phase with a strong, multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering a sustainable, community-focused recreational center that integrates resilience and economic viability through innovative design and funding strategies.
The Wohlsen Construction team, equipped with extensive experience in real-estate development and investing, will apply their expertise to ensure the Edgewater Recreation and Community Center project is delivered on time and on budget. Cap Ex Advisory Group, a member of the team, specializes in economic development, offering strategies for phased construction and supplemental funding, ensuring the project's financial viability.
