Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said he will announce on Friday the findings of a committee that has looked into future uses of the 3,000-acre peninsula.

Kamenetz formed the Sparrows Point Partnership Business Advisory Board last May, just days before RG Steel, the parent of the steel facility, went into bankruptcy. The committee’s charge was to advise the county on the highest and best uses for the industrially zoned properties, including the now-closed steel mill.

Once owned by powerhouse Bethlehem Steel, the site was purchased last August in a bankruptcy sale by liquidators Hilco and Environmental Liability Transfer (ELT), who are razing parts of the sprawling mill.

The Maryland Port Administration has eyed the facility – at the mouth of Baltimore Harbor with deepwater docking facilities – for future expansion in connection with a new generation of “super ships” that will sail through the Panana Canal beginning in 2014.

The port agency has attempted to buy a 300-acre site known as Coke Point for storing dredged material coming from the deepening of the harbor’s shipping channels. So far its efforts have been rebuffed by ELT.

Other uses floated by county officials for the peninsula include a clean energy facility, “advanced” manufacturing, logistics and a freight distribution center.

The advisory committee includes Donald Fry, president of the Greater Baltimore Committee; Mark Montgomery, president of Ports America Chesapeake; Joanna McGowan, president of White Marsh Transport; and Theodore Venetoulis, a former county executive.

The panel is chaired by Dan Gundersen, executive director of the Baltimore County Department of Economic Development.
