&ldquo;If you love your dog as much as I love mine, this contest is for you,&rdquo; said Carla Mattioli, Marketing Director at Harford Bank. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to be a customer&mdash;just grab a ball, snap a photo, and have fun. No purchase, no pressure.&rdquo;
Entries will be accepted through June 30 at 11:59 PM. Community voting will take place on Facebook beginning July 6, with the dog receiving the most likes earning the title of Harford Bank&rsquo;s Top Dog.

Announces construction for Derby Place
BEL AIR, Md. &mdash; <a href="https://sjcventures.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">SJC Ventures</a>, a premier Atlanta-based mixed-use, retail and multi-family development firm, recently announced it has closed on the former Macy&rsquo;s at the Harford Mall property and will begin clearing land and starting infrastructure in early July in preparation for Derby Place, a 94,600-square-foot mixed-use center.
The closing marks the second phase of the mall redevelopment, for both CBL Properties, a national shopping mall owner, operator and developer, and SJC Ventures. The firm is purchasing the former Macy&rsquo;s property from CBL Properties. 
CBL Properties has owned the entire mall property for more than 20 years and has been working to redevelop the property into a large-scale mixed-use destination. During the first phase, SJC Ventures purchased and redeveloped the former Sears property at the Harford Mall and turned it into Shops of Harford Mall, which was completed in 2024.
Located at the intersections of Veterans Memorial Highway, Baltimore Pike and North Tollgate Road, the future Derby Place will be anchored by a 35,000-square-foot organic grocer and complemented by 48,000 square feet of luxury boutiques, restaurants, shops and amenities. 
SJC Ventures plans to incorporate pedestrian walkways that will allow for greater connectivity in the space, forming a large mixed-use complex for residents and visitors that will feature pocket parks and open space. The enhanced pedestrian and vehicular connectivity, with the creation of an access drive between Baltimore Pike and Boulton Street, will make shopping more accessible and enjoyable, fostering a vibrant community hub.
A residential component will also be included at Derby Place, featuring 249 multi-family units with an on-site parking deck. Construction on the residential portion is anticipated to start in fall 2026 by another developer.
&ldquo;Over the course of six years, we have worked with the Town of Bel Air to share our vision for this transformational redevelopment project,&rdquo; said Jeff Garrison, principal at SJC Ventures. &ldquo;We are confident this will help solidify Bel Air as the centerpiece of Harford County and become an asset the community can be proud of. We look forward to the day this is a fully cohesive property with greenspace, and are excited to be a part of the next step in making that happen.&rdquo;
Construction is slated to start on Derby Place in summer 2026, with first tenant openings projected for spring 2028. 
Pre-leasing efforts for the center are ongoing for restaurants, medical, soft goods retailers and service users.
