Controversy Over City Erasure Plan Raises Access and Cost Questions
Aldermen debated delaying a funding request on December 6 as Ms Kuzemchak pressed for a contract copy with the consultant before the meeting. Project costs have risen from an estimated 15 million to about 20 million with 95 percent funded by the PAA and a state agency. The plan targets 970 acres for easements and buyouts, including forested Monocacy River areas, with tree clearing risking historic value per Maryland Historical Trust. The project also includes burying power lines along East Patrick Street to improve airport safety and FAA eligibility.
