Miscellaneous Thanksgiving thoughts

by Adam Meister, Baltimore Politics Examiner

There is supposed to be a massive redevelopment project at the Rotunda in Hampden. It has not started yet though. The developers are not worried about the 800 employees of nearby Zurich leaving. If I was a potential retailer who was looking for space in the new development then I would be very concerned about a massive loss of potential customers.

I think the city should be worried about Bank of America and Zurich leaving the city. Is this the beginning of a new trend or is it just a blip on the radar? Does the city have the ability (money) to continue to offer massive economic/tax incentives for companies to relocate to Baltimore?

Happy Thanksgiving. This is one of the few days where you do not have to worry about getting a parking ticket in Baltimore.

A random article of mine: TRAC gets aggressive.
