Crofton Golf (a.k.a. Beaver Creek) Restoration Project
To view a time lapse video of the regrowth from July 2024 through March 2025 click here.
During September’s CCA General Membership Meeting, Senior Project Manager for Anne Arundel County’s Bureau of Watershed Protection & Restoration, Ms. Nasrin Dahlgren, presented details about Phase 1 of what is commonly known as the “Beaver Creek” restoration project currently underway between Rt. 424 and Crofton Parkway. She also gave a preview of what will be Phase 2 of the project between Crofton Parkway and MD Rt. 3 scheduled for the fall of 2025. See Power Point Presentation.
The next day, Ms. Sally Albright, the Bureau’s Education & Outreach Coordinator (shown below in orange vest), conducted a tour of the site for a small group of residents to highlight recent plantings and explain the benefits of this “valley restoration” initiative.
Alternatively, we have design drawings for Phase 2 on display at Town Hall. You may view them during regular business hours, 9am to 5pm, M-F.
2024 CCA Crofton Citizen of the Year
Throughout Crofton's history and development there have been many people that have contributed to our growth and Crofton's "hometown" feeling and sense of community. The Crofton Civic Association recognizes those people that have made an impact on Crofton through the Crofton Citizen of the Year award.
This year the award was presented to resident Evelyn Harris at the Crofton Chamber of Commerce Community Award Banquet, November 13th.

CROFTON POLICE
Crofton Police Department News!
January 2025 - The Crofton Police Department is pleased to announce the promotion of Officer Timothy Utzig to Corporal!
Crofton Police Department Officer of the Year 2024
Corporal Kyle Gable was recognized as the Crofton Police Department’s 2024 Officer of the Year. If you tend to be a lead-footed driver, you’ve probably already met CPL Gable. Over the last two years, Crofton P.D.’s statistics have shown that our officers are making their presence increasingly known in the community. One of the statistics is for traffic violations and CPL Gable is a large part of the reason why traffic citations and warnings along the Parkway have become more common AND we are seeing less speeding as a result.
Rather than awarding a traditional plaque, Chief Jason Jett continued a new practice begun last year for Sergeant Sims by presenting to CPL Gable the Officer of the Year Belt!
