Be Part of the Conversation
Crystal Spring developers plan to destroy about 40 acres of the last remaining large stand of forest in the city.

Capital LTE: “Crystal Spring wouldn’t serve this area’s needs”
Faith Goldstein (The Capital, Jan. 2) attacks opponents of Crystal Spring. I sincerely disagree. First, many letters of opposition are from city residents and taxpayers in Annapolis.

It’s absurd that with the existing traffic and school overcrowding problems, and the environmental destruction it would encompass, this project has not been outright rejected by Mayor Mike Pantelides and read on >
