We, along with all of you, support the operations of the Port of Baltimore, and have always understood the need for an intermodal facility. However, all of us remain unified in our belief that Race Road is the wrong place for such a facility.
Let's stay vigilant and work together as the final decisions unfold. Thank you to each and every one of you that have worked along side with us to help bring about a positive resolution.
