The Town of Shepherdstown is actively seeking community input on a proposal to create a temporary pedestrian-focused plaza around and behind the Historic Market House. This initiative, known as the Market House Plaza concept, aims to boost the liveliness, walkability, and overall community engagement within the downtown area. The town is considering a pilot program, which would last for approximately three months, before any decisions are made regarding long-term or permanent investments in the project.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The town has already begun engaging residents and stakeholders in the discussion. On May 21, a Community Conversation event was held, drawing over 50 attendees including residents and business owners. This event provided an opportunity for the community to learn about the initial concepts for the plaza and to share their thoughts, ideas, and any concerns they might have.
For individuals who could not attend the initial meeting or those who wish to offer further feedback, the Town of Shepherdstown continues to welcome public input. Residents can submit their comments, suggestions, and reflections on the proposed plaza concept through an online feedback form provided by the Town. The feedback form can be downloaded, completed, and then emailed to comments@shepherdstown.gov. Community perspectives are expected to be a significant factor as discussions progress regarding the potential pilot project.
