Who Does Maryland’s Governor Really Work For?

Hogan has a history of investing in the area surrounding the Brandywine project that dates back to 2003. Under his administration, the government has also advanced a number of other improvements in the same vicinity, including the construction of embankments, exit ramps, and median piers; pavement upgrades; a new park-and-ride lot; and a bridge.

At the same time, Hogan’s business has been increasing its portfolio near all of these improvements. In early 2017, HOGAN purchased a new parcel of land for $2.2 million near the interchange, where, according to a Maryland real-estate newsletter, it plans to build townhouses, apartments, a medical office space, and an assisted-living center. Most recently, the company bought 14 additional parcels of land in Brandywine near the interchange for more than $1.2 million, according to public land records.

I asked Mike Sponseller, a HOGAN vice president, whether the interchange project contributed to the firm’s increased investment in the area. “Yeah,” he said. “Infrastructural updates are incredibly important to facilitating new development. Infrastructure contributes to land value, contributes to access, of course.”

Brandywine isn’t the only place where Hogan has advanced construction projects near his existing property interests. On November 12, 2014, just eight days after his election, Hogan’s company bought a parcel of land from Maryland’s State Highway Administration in Severn, Maryland, for $400,000. The sale was conducted through a public auction, and only one bid was made: by Timothy Hogan. In November 2014, HOGAN created a new LLC called the Villas at Severn Crest. Since Larry Hogan took office, the State Highway Administration has begun a number of transportation projects that could boost the value of that property, including intersection improvements and road resurfacing less than a mile away, which started in 2018.
