Anne Arundel County and the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County announced the selection of the Wohlsen Construction team for the Edgewater Recreation and Community Center project.
Last week, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County unveiled the selection of the Wohlsen Construction team—comprised of Wohlsen Construction, Becker Morgan Group, and Cap Ex Advisory Group—in response to a highly competitive Request for Proposals for the Edgewater Recreation and Community Center.
According to the press release,
“The Edgewater community spoke loud and clear with a vision to transform an eyesore into an asset, and it’s great to see the project moving forward,” said County Executive Steuart Pittman. “The Wohlsen team brings the right experience, the right values, and a clear understanding of what this facility can mean for our residents. I look forward to working with them, our Recreation and Parks team, and the Resilience Authority to create a space that delivers for people of all ages—now and for generations to come.”
“One of the key strengths of this team is their recognition that the current concept design needs refinement to fully meet our programmatic goals,” said Jessica Leys, Director of the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks. “They showed a deep understanding of our objectives and a commitment to shaping a final design that balances fiscal responsibility with long-term community benefit.”
“In response to our call for proposals, more than 30 firms came together to submit 10 outstanding applications,” said Resilience Authority Director Matthew Fleming. “From an exceptionally strong pool, the Wohlsen Team stood out for both their technical expertise and their alignment with the county’s vision for resilient, community-centered development. The opportunity to work with the county on this and other infrastructure projects ensures that we’re building not only for today but for a more resilient and inclusive future.”
The Edgewater Recreation and Community Center aims to:
- Transform a long-vacant site into a vibrant, welcoming hub for all ages
- Incorporate sustainable and resilient design to address environmental challenges
- Provide high-quality recreation facilities and community resources
- Enhance public access through inclusive and accessible programming
The Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County is serving as a key partner in the delivery of this project.
These efforts underscore the county’s commitment to designing with intention, building with resilience, and delivering high-quality spaces that serve residents for generations to come.
