Upgraded facilities at Towson Center will be too close to homes, residents say

Residents who live nearTowson University in Maryland are circulating a petition objecting to the proposed $45 million Towson Center expansion. Groundbreaking for the 5,000-seat addition to the center is scheduled for spring 2010. In addition to the arena, the project includes renovations that would make the current arena's gymnasium into practice courts, mostly for basketball and volleyball teams, and additional parking between the new arena and adjoining athletic fields. Originally, the expansion would have extended the Center onto the campus side of the site. But neighbors say the plans were changed, without the community viewpoint. The new orientation of the building brings it closer to residents.
