MD BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

VOTES TO DELAY I-95 TRAVEL

PLAZA DECISION

Breaking news: The Maryland Board of Public Works has decided to delay a final decision on a contract to renovate and run two I-95 travel plazas. Areas USA was the winning bidder.

Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Eric Johnson will rule on a challenge by Bethesda-based HMSHost in the next twenty-four hours.

HMSHost seeks to reopen the bidding process, claiming it was excluded from a final round of negotiation.

Johnson will decide whether or not to grant an injunction. For that reason, the Board will wait until its March 7 meeting to revisit the travel plaza issue.
