Cordish unveils plan for Maryland Live! hotel, convention center and transit hub

BALTIMORE — The owner of Maryland Live! unveiled details Friday of his proposal to build a hotel, convention center and intermodal transit hub next to the casino.

David Cordish, chairman of The Cordish Cos., said he is working to convince Anne Arundel County to provide financial support for the project, and hopes to open the complex before competing casinos in Baltimore and near Washington, D.C., challenge his regional dominance in gaming.

Cordish shared his preliminary plan with editors and reporters from The Capital and the Maryland Gazette at his offices overlooking the Inner Harbor.

He spoke the same day the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency awarded MGM Resorts International the state’s sixth and final casino license for National Harbor in Prince George’s County. (See story, Page A4.)
