Anne Arundel Public Library will relocate to a 3,870-square-foot space within Lakeshore Plaza later this year, after moving from its existing branch location at 4730 Mountain Road. David McClatchy and Trish Farrell from MacKenzie Commercial represented the tenant in this transaction.

Vietnamese-style fast-casual restaurant Pho Dena, featuring a variety of rice, noodle, beef and chicken menu items, will occupy 2,700 square feet at the shopping center and plans to open this summer.
