Councilman Marks Endorses Open Space at 12 Acres for Unbuilt Walther Boulevard Property
The land is currently undeveloped, but still carries a development potential that would allow for single-family homes or townhomes.
Baltimore County Councilman David Marks will endorse open space zoning for 12 acres of land originally purchased by Baltimore County for the extension of Walther Boulevard.
The land is currently undeveloped, but still carries a development potential that would allow for single-family homes or townhomes. It is north of Joppa Road between Scotts Haven Drive and Golden Road Lane.
“Baltimore County has never extended Walther Boulevard north of Joppa Road, and I don’t support it ever being constructed,” Councilman Marks commented. “That land should remain as open space and not be sold off for development.”
