Description
Today, Cottage City is a small, ethnically mixed community of about 1,250 citizens, with old "cottage" style homes that sit comfortably on tree-lined streets. The community is an active and enthusiastic partner with the county in the Port Towns Redevelopment Plan, an effort to revitalize the neighborhoods while preserving their historic heritages. The riches that the town hopes to regain by this effort are an improved environment and an improved quality of life for its citizens-the people who define Cottage City, who take pride in what they are, where they have been, and where they are going
