An environmental review process in Hanover, Jessup and Beltsville properties has halted, state official said.
A federally mandated study of four sites in central Maryland for a train-truck facility—three in the greater Elkridge area—has been halted as transportation officials look to Baltimore City for a CSX freight project instead. Since March 2011, CSX and Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) have been eyeing Howard, Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties for an intermodal facility that would serve as a regional hub for freight transfers. Residents in greater Elkridge expressed concern about their health and property values should the large-scale operation be located nearby.

"There is a lot of information that has not been forthcoming," said Gail Sigel at the April 27 public workshop in Elkridge about the proposed intermodal facility. The site at Hanover and Race Roads is one of four locations the state and CSX are considering for the project, which would enable trains and trucks to swap containers of freight. Sigel attended all three workshops in the counties where the proposed sites for the project are located; last week, there was one in Prince George's County and another in Anne …
