If you’re in the market for a new home, look no further than historic Port Deposit, situated on the banks of the picturesque Susquehanna River in Cecil County, Maryland. With virtually non-existent crime and a young and stable workforce, Port Deposit provides an ideal setting in which to raise a family, or to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Port Deposit, MD real estate is located just 34 miles from nearby Baltimore, and 69 miles from Washington, DC., providing convenient international airport access to its residents. The town is closely connected to nearby U.S. Army facilities, which are a short commute away along local roads.
Port Deposit is currently undergoing several exciting and transforming improvements, to accommodate the expected rise in military personnel relocating for work at nearby Aberdeen Proving Ground. The small river town, once a “port of deposit” for the lumber industry, as well as the former chief base of operations on the Susquehanna River, is serviced by Interstate-95 and US Route 40. Port Deposit expects to receive a sizeable chunk of federal transportation surplus in early 2007, to the tune of $80 million. This money will be used to create additional lanes in both directions on I-95, and to upgrade major intersections on Route 40. Also, the Hatem Bridge, where Route 40 crosses the Susquehanna River, will be redecked in 2007.
