Baltimore light rail plan touted as regional tie and jobs aid
Baltimore mayor Kurt Schmoke urged approval of a 27 mile light rail from Hunt Valley to Glen Burnie. He said the project would ease traffic and connect inner city residents to suburban jobs, with $205 million state funds and $290 million total cost. Local contributions would be $15 million each from Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Anne Arundel County. Federal funds would cover the remainder.
