It sounded like a recession success story -- less than a year after construction was completed, amid central Maryland's worst economic climate in a decade, the Roberts Field Shopping Center along Route 30 here was more than 75 percent leased.The 81,000-square-foot center, completed in April and owned by Columbia-based McGill Development Ltd., cost more than $8 million to build.But despite having a major grocery, national hardware, video retailer, liquor store, pizza shop and six other enterprises under its farmhouse-inspired roof, Roberts Field's developers in July filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
