Baltimore officials want to buy seven homes next to a Park that's been closed because of arsenic contamination.
The homes would be demolished to make way for the West Covington project in south Baltimore. Plans call for hundreds of homes and more than a million square feet of retail space and offices next to Swann Park, which is being cleaned up and will reopen.
Some of the homeowners next to Swann Park say they want to leave. But others say they're worried the city won't give them a fair price. The park was closed after arsenic contamination dating from the 1970s was discovered last year. (wbaltv.com)
