After resolving not to use condemnation for economic development throughout his administration, Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith is considering it to complete a Dundalk revitalization project, officials said.
Smith is nearing his price limits on buildings in the Yorkway apartment complex slated for redevelopment and could soon face pressure to use eminent domain ? land seizures for public benefit ? to complete the acquisition, spokesman Don Mohler said. Baltimore County Councilmembers voted Monday night to buy one building for twice its appraised value but said they might not do so again.
