  6. Baltimore Convention Center expansion: Questions remain

    The Greater Baltimore Committee's idea for an expansion of the downtown convention center coupled with a new, attached arena and expanded Sheraton hotel tower is generating understandable excitement among the group's leaders. It would solve a number of downtown Baltimore's issues at once, come with a major commitment of private financing, and boost the city's lucrative tourism industry. GBC President Donald C. Fry said this week that he expects the feasibility study being conducted by the Maryland Stadium Authority will support the project and that his group will ask the General Assembly to approve $2 million to $3 million in planning money next year. He may well be right, but we need first to make sure that the feasibility study and our elected officials are asking the right questions about this project.

  11. Delay for city slots parlor may be a good sign

    After years of starts and stops, any delay in the effort to bring a slots parlor to Baltimore — and with it needed tax revenues for the city and state — is unwelcome. But on the whole, the decision by the state slots licensing commission to push back the deadline for bids on the project appears to be more of a good sign than a bad one. The reason for the delay is not that the state is having trouble finding potential bidders but that it is fielding dozens of questions from would-be slots operators about legal, technical and procedural issues. There are no guarantees, but that fact at least offers some reason to hope that this round of bidding will go better than the last one, when the city site attracted a single bidder who was later disqualified by the state.
