During the recent Baltimore County Executive Candidate Forum, candidates discussed transit-oriented development projects.
Patoka and Jones spoke heavily about transit-oriented development of metro stations, specifically at Lutherville Station. Patoka called it a “strong project” and said there are also great opportunities for housing initiatives at places like the Milford Mill metro station and the Old Court metro station.
Patoka, Stansbury, Daniels and Stewart all talked about major reform in permitting, approvals and inspections.
“On top of all this, we have to push back against NIMBYism and other ‘isms’ that keeps us from having the dialogues of one another that unlock prosperity in this county,” Stewart said. Mansoor echoed that statement.
Seven candidates for Baltimore County Executive discussed the county's need for housing, economic growth, and other issues on voters' minds during a forum Wednesday at Goucher College in Towson.
