'''Lusby''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Calvert County, Maryland|Calvert County]], [[Maryland]], [[United States]]. The population was officially 1,666 at the 2000 census, although residents of the [[Chesapeake Ranch Estates-Drum Point, Maryland|Chesapeake Ranch Estates-Drum Point]] community also use the Lusby zip code designation, making Lusby in fact a much larger community. The [[Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant]], and a compressed natural gas plant run by [[Dominion Resources]], are both nearby. [[Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP|Dominion Cove Point]] is one of the nation's largest [[liquefied natural gas]] import facilities. A large housing development called [[Chesapeake Ranch Estates, Maryland|Chesapeake Ranch Estates]] is nearby, as well as the tourist resort town of [[Solomons, Maryland|Solomons]]. Many residents commute to the [[Patuxent River Naval Air Station]], to [[Andrews Air Force Base]], or with difficulty to the [[Washington, D.C.]] area.
Lusby's central business district has been growing rapidly in recent years. At least three shopping centers have either been built or have been approved, bringing in new grocery stores, restaurants, and other new businesses to the Lusby area. Several new roads are also in planning stages in order to ease traffic congestion to and from the Chesapeake Ranch Estates-Drum Point communities.
Lusby has one public [[high school]], [[Patuxent High School]], which opened in 1996. Patuxent's school mascot is the Panthers. There are also two public middle schools and two public elementary schools in Lusby.
Lusby also features a community park, [[Cove Point Park]], which has numerous baseball fields and a public swimming pool, and a public golf course, Chesapeake Hills Golf Course. There is also a private air field owned and operated by the Chesapeake Ranch Estates-Drum Point communities.
Places of note in the Lusby area include the [[Cove Point Light|Cove Point Lighthouse]] on the [[Chesapeake Bay]] and [[Calvert Cliffs State Park]].
