Baltimore Voters Approve $900M Harborplace Redevelopment
News summary

Baltimore voters have supported the controversial Question F, allowing for the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor by approving a $900 million project that includes mixed-use developments such as high-rise apartments and retail spaces. Despite nearly two-thirds of voters backing the measure, it faced strong opposition from groups advocating to keep the park public, arguing it gives away public land to private developers. The measure, which required a charter amendment, faced legal challenges over its wording and constitutionality but was ultimately upheld by the Maryland Supreme Court. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and several former mayors supported the development, citing the need to revitalize the aging Harborplace area. Opponents, including former Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, voiced concerns over the privatization of public park space and the use of public funds for the project. MCB Real Estate, the developer behind the project, plans to replace existing pavilions with a new complex featuring dining, retail, and residential spaces.
