Lawmakers Say O'Malley's Agency Move Will Waste Millions

Moving the state Department of Housing and Community Development from Crownsville to Prince George's County will waste millions of dollars, members of the county's House delegation said yesterday.

Contrary to claims by the governor's office, the move will not increase state revenue, delegation members said during a meeting held in Annapolis.

At issue is whether the state should move DHCD from its current state-owned office in Crownsville, which costs about $1.5 million to operate and maintain. The new space, which will be subject to a 15-year lease, will cost about $3.2 million per year to rent. The difference is about $25.5 million in rent for the 15 years, plus more than $3 million in moving costs.
