Blackout hits Fells Point business owners hard

Fells Point business owners were still fuming Tuesday after six power outages in little over a month continued to cause disruption in the city?s premier entertainment district.

Baltimore City Council Member James Kraft, whose 1st District includes the historic neighborhood, said that BGE offered him a short- and long-term solution. In the short run, BGE has promised to shift capacity to prevent overloading the neighborhood power lines. In the long run, it promised a major overhaul of the area?s transmission grid to ensure an end to power problems.
