Company Offers Site Near BWI For Slots

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A company has proposed a possible venue for a slots casino near Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Heffner & Weber, based in Linthicum Heights, has offered selling a parcel of more than 50 acres of undeveloped land near the BW Parkway and airport to a slots developer -- presumably the Baltimore-based Cordish Cos.

Cordish is seeking a state license and county zoning for a proposed casino near Arundel Mills mall. The Anne Arundel County Council is considering two zoning bills and the state slots commission has given the council until mid-December to resolve the issue.

Cordish officials have said they are not considering other sites for their project. Heffner & Weber outlined its idea to county officials last month.
