Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley backs new City Dock recommendations – and makes a few of his own

Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley threw his support behind a study from the Urban Land Institute, released Tuesday. The report, a result of two days of interviews with residents, lawmakers and business owners, suggests Annapolis should preserve the existing “envelope” of buildings near City Dock, but move forward with development that would honor the city’s working-class maritime history and attract visitors to the waterfront.

Much rides on results of Urban Land Institute study

Whatever you think of the Annapolis penchant for hiring consultants and think tanks, there is no doubt that Tuesday’s big reveal of the Urban Land Institute Technical Panel could be a bellwether moment.
