Crucial Harborplace redevelopment ballot measure will count, Maryland's Supreme Court rules

BALTIMORE -- An important ballot question needed for the future of the Inner Harbor's Harborplace will now be up for public vote in Baltimore, reversing last month's ruling by an Anne Arundel County judge that called the measure unconstitutional, the Maryland Supreme Court decided.

Voters will decide whether MCB Real Estate, a private company, will be able to execute plans to rebuild the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

In September, an Anne Arundel County judge ruled that ballot Question F, which asks voters if they would support rezoning portions of the Inner Harbor so that a developer can build on it, including the Harborplace project, was unconstitutional. Thursday's ruling overturned that decision.

MCB Real Estate plans to tear down the existing pavilions along the Inner Harbor to build a mixed-use complex that would include high-rise buildings. The 4.5-acre space would have eating places, commercial uses, multifamily residential development and off-street parking.
