A reshuffling of state office space will move nearly 400 workers from around the state capital to Baltimore andPrince George's County — a shift that Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration hopes will spur development around the new offices and make their operations more efficient.
But some Anne Arundel County officials are criticizing the moves as politically motivated, saying that state officials didn't consider the impact on the local economy.
O'Malley, a Democrat, plans to relocate the Department of Housing and Community Development — and about 330 workers — from Crownsville to a new building in Prince George's County as part of a development strategy to cluster commuters around transit hubs. The state has agreed tentatively to a $48 million, 15-year lease at the new property.
lmao! from crownsville to PG county. Like being mugged or shot on your way to or from work?
