Choice Neighborhoods Initiative

Eastport Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) is a major revitalization of Annapolis’ largest public housing communities Eastport Terrace and Harbour House. Through a two-year community-led planning process in partnership with the Housing Authority of the City of Annapolis (HACA), the Eastport CNI Transformation Plan was completed and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which had funded the planning process. Focusing on investments in new housing, neighborhood infrastructure and amenities, and social services for residents, the Transformation Plan proposes a complete redevelopment of the approximately 30 acre property in Eastport as well as a City-owned property on Spa Road which formerly housed Department of Public Works facilities. The project is estimated to cost up to $300 million which will require funding from a wide variety of sources beyond the City. FY25, the City is provided $1 million toward design with a request for a matching grant from the State of Maryland.
