The issue: County and state officials have received complaints for years from area residents about Fort Smallwood Park, a 100-acre park owned by Baltimore City but located in Anne Arundel County. Residents say the park has become a haven for drug use, vandalism and violence.
The proposal: Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens says the county should take over the park and has again proposed this to the city. But estimates put the cost of renovating the park at up to $10 million.
