A Baltimore City Council committee approved a plan to give millions in taxpayer assistance to the $1.8 billion Harbor Point development. The controversial vote came after opponents criticized developer Michael S. Beatty’s plans for the 27-acre waterfront site—which will be home to energy giant Exelon's new regional headquarters. Local ministers alleged that the $107 million in city financing would harm schoolchildren by holding down tax revenue. The legislation calls for $107 million in tax increment financing bonds to pay for infrastructure, parks and other site improvements.
