Talbot County and Easton Market Absorption: A Discussion

7 April 2026

The Easton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) hired The Chesapeake Group (TCG) in 2024 to assess market-rate residential and commercial development opportunities in Talbot County and Easton. The results of potential absorption were based in part on extensive primary and secondary data research, surveys of households, and demand forecasting based on TCG proprietary models.

Come join EEC and Howard Kohn, CEO of TCG, to hear and discuss the results of his research. Mr. Kohn will also describe the analytical process he used that resulted in his findings, which also helped to inform opportunities in the East End for meeting unmet demand.
