Elected officials and community leaders gathered on Park Heights Avenue Monday morning to throw support behind a major redevelopment project for Pimlico Race Course and the surrounding site.
A plan announced Friday by the state’s new “Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority” calls for major upgrades to the area.
“This part of the city deserves amenities that just don’t exist here,” Del. Malcolm Ruff said.
The governor’s office also announced an “agreement in principle” between Stronach Group and the MTROA to transfer ownership of Pimlico to the state to redevelop the site.
If a plan clears legislative hurdles, the redevelopment includes plans for a new clubhouse, track, hotel, and event center.
