The project will now go to the stat Board of Public Works for a schedulee June3 vote. The board is led by Gov.
Martinj O’Malley, who supports the project and workex closely on it while he was mayordof Baltimore. Matthew Gallagher, the governor’sz deputy chief of staff, lobbiedc the House and Senate onthe project. “Ww are at the cusp of a very importantt milestone,” Gallagher said. “The governor’s office is very supportiv of this project and has been involvedf dating back to our time atthe city,” Gallaghetr told the House during its hearing on the In signing off on the the House and Senate legislators insisted on haviny more oversight in the redevelopment process.
