Changes to city development deal include assisted living facility
'TeaBow has requested that changes be made,' according to documents that pertain to the amendments.
Under the initial deal made last year the developer would build houses on some vacant city lots that cost $1 each.
The agreement included nearly a dozen city-owned properties on Arch, Lee, Elder and Knox streets, and Maryland and Pennsylvania avenues.
The Allegany County Board of Commissioners last year approved $345,000 for the Infill Development Incentive Program in collaboration with the city of Cumberland.
In April 2024, Cumberland's mayor and City Council approved the Infill agreement with TeaBow that stipulated the company had two years to build residential homes on the lots.
Documents related to the amendments approved by council Tuesday state 'the city will not issue new building permits for any of the properties' until TeaBow completes construction at 301, 303, 305, 307 and 309 Arch St. and secures an occupancy permit for the structures by June 1.
Additionally, TeaBow must complete construction at 321, 323 and 325 Pennsylvania Ave. and secure occupancy permits by April 30, 2026.
'TeaBow must obtain the required number of off-street parking spaces required by the city code before an occupancy permit will be issued,' the documents state.
Development of 252 E. Elder St. was amended to include an assisted living facility.
'It must be under roof, connected to public utilities, and all HVAC units and equipment must be installed by April 30, 2026,' the documents state.
In other city business, Cumberland will host a spring cleanup day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Neighborhood Dumpster collection sites will be at Braddock Middle School, Constitution Park's Long Field, and the parking lot at Tilghman and School streets.
Restricted items include tires, batteries, paint, appliances and hazardous materials.

Trump announces EU trade deal that sees 15% flat tariff for products coming to US
Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with the European Union Sunday that will cut tariff rates down to 15 percent on imports from the trade bloc, while US exports will be tariff-free. The president spoke alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland as he announced the news. 'All of the countries will be opened up to trade with the United States at zero tariff [for U.S. exports],' Trump told reporters, shaking von der Leyen's hand. 'We are agreeing that the tariff straight across for automobiles and everything else, will be a straight across tariff of 15 percent. So we have a tariff of 15 percent; we have the opening up of all of the European countries, which I think I could say [those markets] were essentially closed,' said the president. He also touted a number of impending EU investments, including a purchase of military materials. Von der Leyen confirmed: 'It is 15 percent tariffs across the board.' 'We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world, and it's a big deal. It's a huge deal. It will bring stability. It will bring predictability. That's very important for our businesses on both sides of the Atlantic,' said the European Commission president. The announcement comes ahead of the Trump administration's planned August 1 deadline for enforcement of the president's so-called 'reciprocal' tariffs. Trump had threatened to hike that rate to 30 percent in a letter this month. Asked about U.S. concessions in the deal, and the apparent imbalance of the U.S.-E.U. tariff rates going forward, von der Leyen cast the agreement as meant to address existing issues, and told one reporter: 'The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus on our side and a deficit on the U.S. side.' The president briefly answered questions from reporters, though he claimed not to hear one about his deputy attorney general (and former personal attorney)'s meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, imprisoned accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein. He also claimed to have told the respective leaders of Cambodia and Thailand that the two countries needed to cease armed clashes along their respective borders in order to secure trade agreements with his administration. The president would go on to complain that the U.S. was not sufficiently praised for its investment in the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-led effort to provide aid in Gaza that appears to have utterly failed to avert widespread famine and has long been labeled an effort by the Israeli government to save face by its critics. Further information about the agreement was not immediately released by the White House, either to pool reporters or through other media channels.
