BALTIMORE — Twenty Baltimore City residents filed a petition challenging a ballot question surrounding plans for the future of the Inner Harbor’s Harborplace.
The developer, MCB Real Estate revealed its plans for a reimagined Harborplace in 2023.
The nearly billion-dollar project would rid the existing concrete pavilions to make way for a mixed-use complex that would include residential towers.
On Thursday, the residents filed a petition for judicial review to challenge the content and arrangement of Ballot Question F.
“Question F is written in a convoluted, borderline incoherent way that is likely to confuse and mislead voters. For something as simple and offensive as removing land from a public park for private development, the ballot language must be clear,” said the plaintiff’s lead counsel, former Maryland Deputy Attorney General Thiru Vignarajah.
Now, they’re calling on the court to review it ahead of the elections in November.
