Brown, Rendell To Talk Public-Private Partnerships

LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, Md. (AP) -- Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell, both Democrats, are scheduled to deliver remarks during a forum hosted by the Urban Land Institute Baltimore.

Thursday's event will focus on Maryland's new public-private partnerships legislation signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley last month.

The law creates a streamlined process for the private sector to take part in building public roads or buildings.

The event, sponsored by Ballard Spahr, will also feature a panel discussion among leaders from the public and private sectors with extensive experience in public-private partnerships in commercial and institutional development.
