“The HUB at La Plata is about bringing the federal workforce, the business community, and the town of La Plata together in the northwest quadrant of the town in a new project designed to have a strong sense of place and community that will be appealing to all. The project is meant to accommodate work space for federal employees and major employers to help address the number of people in Southern Maryland who must commute long hours to and from work.
The HUB at La Plata will be a mixed-use development that features housing, retail, recreational and commercial amenities as well. The philosophy behind The HUB at La Plata is providing a connected and compact community in a walkable and inviting setting. As a leading development, it is focused on planning that takes into account sustainability and environmentally sensitive factors.”
