Community Of the Year
Succeeding where others have failed takes great vision and that is certainly the case with this recipient. The developer of this project was able to quickly turn around this massive development by addressing its previous shortcomings. A grand entrance was built, density and commercial space were incorporated, access to a major highway was added, and the entire community was rebranded with updated amenities and marketing. This community of villages centered around a picturesque lake was quickly revived and is now better than ever. Community of the year is Elm Street Communities for Lake Linganore in New Market, Maryland.
