Developers for old city landfill site are named

October 15, 2008

The Baltimore Development Corp. said yesterday that it has chosen developers for the former Bowleys Lane Landfill and Eastern Sanitation Yard in Northeast Baltimore. Chesapeake Real Estate Group and McCrary Development, which plan to build a $31.7million light industrial and warehouse business park called Moravia Business Center, will enter into negotiations with the BDC on the project. The development would include five buildings totaling 423,800 square feet and would create about 140 permanent jobs. The 82-acre site in the Frankford neighborhood was used as a landfill until 1985.
