Maryland prepared to move forward with Baltimore’s State Center development after receives $58 million settlement
BALTIMORE — Maryland’s Board of Public Works approved a $58.5 million settlement Wednesday to resolve longstanding litigation over Baltimore’s State Center development project, clearing the way for new development plans after nearly two decades of delays.
The settlement will be paid in two installments: $40 million before Dec. 9, and the remaining $18.5 million following the 2025 legislative session, no later than July 1, 2025.
“The delays caused by the ongoing litigation have created questions about the future of State Center, delayed critical planning, and blocked much-needed investment and redevelopment in the City of Baltimore,” Gov. Wes Moore said.
The dispute dates back to 2006, when the Ehrlich administration first proposed redeveloping State Center through a public-private partnership. The project stalled due to lawsuits, and the Hogan administration canceled it in 2016, leading to additional litigation. A 2022 attempt to transfer ownership to Baltimore City never materialized due to ongoing legal issues.
Comptroller Brooke E. Lierman praised the resolution, noting that delays had created unnecessary costs for taxpayers. Treasurer Dereck Davis called the settlement a path toward “visionary redevelopment.”
Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott welcomed the agreement, calling the settlement “a critical first step” in moving the project forward.
The governor’s office will establish a work group of state and city leaders to review existing plans, conduct community outreach, and develop recommendations for the site’s future use.
A Maryland police officer was struck head on by a suspected drunken driver while on duty early Thursday morning.
The Laurel officer’s SUV was struck by a dark-colored Kia about 2:30 a.m. on Van Dusen Road near Laurel Oaks Lane while he was responding to a call, police said. The officer was taken to a hospital and is home recovering.
“As he was traveling towards 95, he saw a vehicle coming towards him,” Deputy Police Chief Mark Plazinski said. “That vehicle crossed the double yellow line. He tried to avoid the vehicle, but it struck him head on.”
Plazinski said it was an incredibly close call and the officer is lucky to be alive.
The suspect was not injured. He was cited for driving under the influence, police said.
“I implore everybody, you know, if you’re gonna be drinking, make sure you have a sober driver,” Plazinski said. “If you’re hosting a party, make sure your guests have a sober ride home. Take a taxi; take a ride share.”
In December 2015, Montgomery County police Officer Noah Leotta was struck and fatally injured by a drunken driver while working on a holiday DUI enforcement task force. His death led to Noah’s Law, passed in 2016, which requires ignition interlock devices to be installed in the cars of those convicted of drunken driving in Maryland. A loophole allowing thousands of drunken drivers to avoid the program every year was closed in the latest Maryland legislative session.

Iowa Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) vs. Maryland Terrapins (4-6, 1-6 Big Ten) Preview:
The 6-4 Iowa Hawkeyes travel to College Park, Maryland, to take on the 4-6 Terrapins.
Some may think Iowa’s six wins at this point of the season is bad. However, the Hawkeyes should not be discouraged. This was a season in which they had to replace key members on the defense and implement an entirely new offensive system.
They have had some bright moments, including their road win in Minnesota and a thumping of Washington, Wisconsin, and Northwestern.
They will also be looking to bounce back from their road loss to UCLA prior to last week’s bye.
With their success, there must be some discussion about Kaleb Johnson. The junior running back has moved higher on draft boards with great play this season. The Ohio native has rushed for 1,328 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 1,328 yards lead the Big Ten, and the closest player to him is still nearly 300 yards away.
The season for Maryland was always going to be a challenge replacing the production of Taulia Tagovailoa. Billy Edwards Jr has been good in his stead. He’s thrown for 2,855 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The issue for Maryland this season has been on the defensive side of the ball. They will need to sure up their defense if they wish to pick up their second Big Ten win of the season.
