The massive, federally owned Middle River Depot opened yesterday to what county officials hope will be bids for its redevelopment into a thriving shopping and residential town center.
Wednesday, officials said a list of 250 interested parties existed before several development teams toured the 50-acre site, almost all of which is consumed by a 1.9-million-square-foot warehouse. But after federal and county officials disclosed several potential obstacles, including asbestos, lead paint, soil contamination and historic preservation regulations, some stopped short of committing to participate in the online auction carrying a $10 million minimum bid.
