Kent Narrows Development Foundation

The Kent Narrows Development Foundation was created in May 1990 to facilitate the revitalization of the Kent Narrows, a 955-acre waterfront area, which has been identified as a strategically important asset for the future of Queen Anne’s County. The Foundation’s mission is to provide guidance and oversight for the formulation of a strategy to balance new economic growth, community redevelopment, support for the County’s fishing and seafood industries, and public access to waterfront activities and amenities.  The Foundation is also concerned that environmentally sensitive areas within the Kent Narrows be preserved and contribute to the character of the unique Eastern Shore community.
