A developer wants to build a new town center in Baltimore County. The proposal includes 4,000 homes, a golf course, offices, and stores. Several groups asked the county council to deny the request, saying that the property has environmental and historical value.

The complete question asks us the following.

What issues should the County Council consider before deciding on this proposal?

What would you advise the county to do? Why?

So the correct answers are the following.

The issues that the County Council should consider before deciding on this proposal are to verify the environmental and historical value of the property. If it has a historical value, it means that this property was part of an important event in the history of the country or the state and has to v¿be respected like that. It could be a battle, an important decision, a historical building or monument. Regarding the environment, nature, wildlife, trees, and plants should be preserved. The respect of the environment should be priority number one.

What I would advise the county to do is invite both parties to be patient before the county verify the situation, do the appropriate research to find the best answers, and once it had alternatives, have a meeting with the developer and the members of the community to explain the situation, the results of the investigation and possible alternatives and solutions.
