LEXINGTON PARK, Md. – During the joint meeting with the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County and NAS Patuxent River that took place on April 9, 2024, David Ross of Atlantic Realty Companies gave an update on Pax River Village Center, formerly known as Millison Plaza.
Ross revealed that the hope is to begin development in 30 days, and the project will take approximately 8 months to complete.
The project will mainly revolve around improvements to existing properties and the demolition of the vacant hotel. Two brand new businesses will also be added to the development, which will include ALDI and Starbucks. The Starbucks will reportedly be a military-themed location.
It was also stated that AMC Theatres did not renew their lease. A representative from AMC theatres reached out to The BayNet with the following statement.
“To clarify, the end of AMC’s lease at this property is not imminent. AMC has no current plans to cease operations at this location, nor have we made any decisions about our future at the property.”

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this article stated that AMC Theatres did not renew their lease and the developer was looking to turn the property into a daycare center. However, AMC Theatres reached out to clarify that this is not the case.
Don’t tell me the economy is not great right now. PEOPLE CAN NOT STOP BUILDING DOWN HERE.
This is fueled by government spending. This area is just like WashMet Area, immune to downside of bad government spending.
Do you really want a Starbucks in an area heavily crime related ? Seems like a robbery waiting to happen.
May Lexington Park deserves better than dollar stores..
Because you can never have too many grossly overpriced burnt coffee stores in a 5 mile radius.
