Townsend Signals Open Mind On ICC Highway Plan
Annapolis Maryland Governor hopeful Kathleen Kennedy Townsend told the Washington Post she would consider the Intercounty Connector linking Montgomery and Prince George counties to ease Washington suburbs congestion. She did not commit to building or pick a route, urging party unity ahead of the General Assembly session. The ICC has long divided environmentalists and business leaders, with former Governor Glendenning opposing it as an environmental disaster. The Board of Public Works recently overturned a plan to sell land for the project despite earlier resistance.
