• Harborplace developer also behind massive Viva White Oak project (thebanner.com) — A $2.7 billion Viva White Oak project is finally moving forward in eastern Montgomery County, bringing 1,000 townhomes, 1,000 apartments, and a Costco to White Oak with infrastructure funded by a $420 million county tax-increment financing district. Residents and local leaders see it as a long-awaited economic boost, though the project's success still depends on assembling complex private financing over many years.
