Historic St. Mary’s City Fort Market and Economic Study

In May 2021, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) Board of Directors approved a request by Historic St. Mary’s City Commission (HSMCC) for the use of the MSA’s on-call market, economic, and business consultant, Crossroads Consulting Services LLC to perform the study. The study intends to provide objective, research-based information to assist Historic St. Mary’s City while making decisions regarding potential economic and fiscal benefits associated with the recent discovery of the St. Mary’s Fort. The total cost of the study is $188,840. HSMCC has committed to fully fund the cost of the study.

In March 2023, the MSA published the market assessment and economic impact analysis related to the recently discovered St. Mary’s Fort in Historic St. Mary’s City as requested.
