Washington D.C. officials will push forward with plans to build a 40-acre juvenile detention center to replace the troubled Oak Hill facility, despite two Maryland lawmakers proposing legislation to relocate the facility within the District?s borders.

In an agreement reached between U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., and D.C. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the parties will continue down opposite paths regarding the new detention center but compromise on the fate of the remaining 848 acres of federally owned land near Fort Meade, according to a statement released by Cardin?s office Friday.
