WYPR reports: Beth Miller with the Green Towson Alliance said they oppose the plan because it splits the county seat in two. Part of Towson would be in the county’s most rural council district.
“Urban centers are more congested by traffic and therefore have worse air quality,” Miller said. “Urban centers have more paving so they’re hotter and more uncomfortable. They just have an entirely different set of environmental concerns than rural districts.”
The first public hearing is on the plan is Oct. 26. Read/listen to the full story here.
