A new special tax district that would stretch from the Inner Harbor to Fells point is being proposed by the administration at tonight’s Baltimore City Council meeting.

The Waterfront Benefits District will be a quasi-public agency with the authority to tax business in some of the most popular tourist spots in the city. The agency will be charged with providing extra amenities, including security, trash pick up and marketing. The district would cover the city’s waterfront from Rash Field near the Rusty Scupper Restaurant to Bonds Pier in Fells Point.
