Project aims to relocate section of Route 219

GRANTSVILLE, Md. — A proposed stand-along project to relocate 1.4 miles of U.S. Route 219 between Interstate 68 and Old Salisbury Road could provide access to a proposed industrial park, according to the U.S. 219 Planning and Environment Linkages study.

The proposed industrial park, which would be located in the Chestnut Ridge Corridor, will be a mix of residential and industrial usage, according to Deborah Carpenter, director of the Garrett County Department of Planning and Land Management.

“The project will provide transportation improvements that are responsive to economic development,” said Barrett Kiedrowski, division chief of the project management division of the Maryland State Highway Administration. “It will look at community access, how it’s integrated into the existing area.”

The lower half of the proposed 340-acre park would be for residential use and would be accessed by U.S. Route 40, according to Carpenter. The upper half, which would be industrial, would be accessed by U.S. 219, she said. The proposed industrial park is part of the 1995 Garrett County Comprehensive Plan.
