D.C. Officials Push Forward With Oak Hill Plans
posted 5:38 am Wed May 02, 2007 - LAUREL, Md.
The federally owned property is being used by the city under a land grant. It's mostly vacant, except for Oak Hill, plagued by poor living conditions, overcrowding and security problems. The city is under court order to close it by 2009.
Maryland Senators Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski have introduced a bill to force the District to move its detention center to the city and have the land split between the county and the National Security Agency.
