The big-box just keeps on coming at Remington. The Daily Record reports that Wal-Mart has been talking to the developers of the north Baltimore site occupied now by Anderson Automotive and plans to plop a store on top of the Lowe’s.
Neighborhood activists who have been concerned about the project’s impact on the community told The Record they aren’t so much concerned about who the tenants are as with with the way the project is ballooning in size.
Since first proposed in the fall, “25th Street Station,” as it’s now being called, has bulked up with more square footage, an additioonal 76 parking spaces and a new building, butting right up to Huntingdon Avenue:
“The revised plan includes 25,000 square feet more retail space, with 13,000 square feet inside the Walmart, 10,000 square feet in a new building along Huntingdon Avenue and 2,000 square feet added to the east side of an existing Honda dealership building,” yesterday’s story said.
