Fort Smallwood Deal Good for County

The deal today reached by the City and the County on Fort Smallwood Park is a boon for Anne Arundel County residents. While there will be some costs upfront for the rehabilitation of the park, this deal is a great asset to the neighborhoods along Fort Smallwood Road. For too long, the park has been a burden on the communiuty, complete with environmental hazards and drug activity. Baltimore City for years has been derelict in its upkeep of the park, and Baltimore City Police was either unable or disinterested in dealing with the crime situation on Park property.

Now, with the county assuming responsibility for the park, let us hope that Fort Smallwood Park is restored, and becomes a valuable part of our Pasadena community.
