PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – The Calvert County Department of Community Resources invites residents of Prince Frederick and Lusby to participate in a community survey open from July 1 through July 31, 2025. The survey will provide insight and guide how local cannabis revenue is invested to benefit these two communities.

Complete the survey or learn more about the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund here.  

As part of Maryland’s legalization of adult-use cannabis, voters approved a law in 2022 establishing the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund (CRRF). This fund dedicates a portion of cannabis sales revenue to communities that were disproportionately impacted by past cannabis prohibition and enforcement policies. The Maryland Office of Social Equity has identified Prince Frederick and Lusby as eligible communities in Calvert County.

Calvert County will receive CRRF funding to support programs and services that address local needs. The Department of Community Resources is developing a plan to allocate these funds and is seeking direct input from residents to help determine community priorities.

“This is a meaningful opportunity to ensure that the communities most affected by past policies have a voice in how these funds are used,” said Jennifer Moreland, director of the Department of Community Resources. “We encourage everyone in Prince Frederick and Lusby to take a few minutes to complete the survey and help shape the future of their neighborhoods.”

The survey is brief and confidential. Responses will help guide a local reinvestment strategy that prioritizes equity, impact and long-term sustainability.
