Downtown development: Swamped by COVID & crime, will it recover?

Now, Midday guest host Jayne Miller takes a look at the current state of redevelopment in downtown Baltimore. There’s a new Lexington Market and concerts at the CFG Bank Arena. But foot traffic is dwindling, some restaurants are closing and big businesses are moving out.  And Harbor Place, long slated for a major redevelopment, continues to languish. When and how can downtown bounce back? Jayne talks with Sophie Kasakove and Hallie Miller, both reporters at WYPR's news partner, The Baltimore Banner, which recently published their extensive report on the troubled state of downtown Baltimore.
