CWDI: Advertises Prominade Project

CAMBRIDGE, Md.
Cambridge Waterfront Development, Inc. (CWDI) has advertised to receive bids for the Cambridge Harbor Phase I Promenade Extension project.

“We’re excited to move this important project from design to construction,” says Angie Hengst, CWDI’s President. “This illustrates CWDI’s community-first approach to developing Cambridge Harbor by securing permanent, public access along the waterfront.”

As described in the Notice to Contractors: The proposed project includes demolition, construction, rehabilitation, and installation of approximately +/- 968 LF of new 20’ wide promenade, +/- 5,737 SF of landscaping, pavement and curb removal and installation, 10 bio-planter concrete stormwater management facilities, concrete landscape planters, storm drains, irrigation system, electrical conduit, stone revetment removal and installation, and various landscaping and lighting site features as shown on the Project Drawings.



The promenade project is funded by a United States Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant of $2.4 Million grant for which CWDI successfully competed in partnership with the Chesapeake Conservancy in 2022.

“Our application to the EDA described the various community and economic development projects and benefits related to the Cambridge Harbor promenade,” explains Matt Leonard, CWDI’s Executive Director, “Including a 90-room boutique hotel, with at least $20 Million in private investment and 65 new jobs created. Those are the outcomes the USEDA is expecting, and CWDI has a boutique hotel deal pending that exceeds those outcomes.”

Bids are due to be received and opened on June 25, 2024 at 2:00PM in the CWDI offices at 306 High Street, Cambridge, Maryland. Project plans are available for review in the CWDI offices. Interested Bidders who need to download plans should contact the project’s lead designer Ken Usab at kusab@mragta.com. Construction is scheduled to begin this July and to be completed in July 2025.
