Maglev project gets community support as lawsuit over Westport land continues

Six community groups in South Baltimore have thrown their support behind a planned high-speed maglev train line as the controversial project remains embroiled in a lawsuit with a developer who has other plans for the proposed railway property. The board of the nonprofit umbrella group South Baltimore 7 Coalition, or SB7, voted to endorse the maglev project and a potential rail station in Cherry Hill and announced it will soon work to negotiate a community benefits agreement with maglev developer Baltimore-Washington Rapid Rail, or BWRR.
