Petition to block Harborplace redevelopment misses deadline for November ballot
BALTIMORE - The group seeking to stop the nearly $1 billion Harborplace redevelopment along Baltimore's Inner Harbor failed to meet the deadline to qualify their initiative for November's ballot, according to our media partner The Baltimore Banner.
Their petition, spearheaded by Baltimore attorney and former mayoral candidate Thiru Vignarajah, fell short of the 10,000 signatures needed to qualify for the election by Monday afternoon's deadline.
The petition group, which calls itself "Protect Our Parks," aimed to counter a plan approved by the City Council that would clear the way for the redevelopment by allowing construction of residential buildings on the city-owned waterfront, according to the Banner.
In March, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott moved forward with plans to redevelop Harborplace by signing three related bills.
