Located just 15—20 minutes from Interstate Highway Rt 81. PRESENTING Location: 14310 Castle Drive, Cascade, Maryland 21719 Legal: Tax Map 0028, Parcel 0162 and 0152 Zoning: Washington County: SED—The principal function of the Special Economic Development District is to provide a mixed-use zoning classification which will address land use compatibility associated with the redevelopment and reuse of the Fort Ritchie Military Base. Because of the nature of the facility and past developmental patterns, a mixed-use designation is encouraged to optimize land use potential. In addition, the classification needs to be extremely flexible with regard to bulk and area development requirements since existing development patterns and reuse potential will reflect more of a town or campus character than a rural or suburban perspective.

  • The Case of Fort Ritchie Army Garrison and Cascade, Maryland
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: MILITARY BASE CLOSURE EFFECTS ON A COMMUNITY: THE CASE OF FORT RITCHIE ARMY GARRISON AND CASCADE, MARYLAND Meridith Hill Thanner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation direction by: Professor Mady W. Segal Department of Sociology Fort Ritchie Army Garrison in Cascade, Maryland, slated for closure as part of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round, officially ceased military operations three years later on September 30, 1998. Despite the fact that Ritchie shut its gates more than seven years ago, a confluence of circumstances has prevented its reuse; the property remains the possession of the U.S. Army and the community has yet to benefit from reuse efforts. To understand how such base closings affect the local community (the place), as well as the character of the place, an ethnographic case study was undertaken. Interwoven with this understanding of place are individual stories of those affected by the closing and how they, based on their relationship to the place and the meanings they attach to it, responded to the closing and the ensuing reuse process. I conducted in-depth interviews, spent time in the community, reviewed archival records, and collected and analyzed demographic and economic data to quantify some of the social and economic impacts on the area over time, and conducted a post hoc Social Impact Assessment. By employing concepts of place to understand how the community came to see itself in relation to the fort (Ritchie), and how residents came to value and use the fort, several predominant themes emerged. Specifically, I found that residents have a strong sense of place and place attachment, in spite of obvious imbalances of power between different segments of the community, which result in feelings of disenfranchisement by residents from the local political structure.
