Baltimore again puts the cart before the horse in vacant property plan

The agreement on a plan to reduce the number of vacant and abandoned properties in Baltimore announced by Mayor Brandon Scott falls far short of the “landmark” status proclaimed in a press release. It includes unrealistic measures for financing the plan and no details on how the partnership to implement the plan — formed by the city, the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC) and Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development (BUILD) — will operate.
