From AP: A retired Associated Press bureau chief has killed himself after being charged with molesting two boys over a five-year period. John Edward Woodfield Sr., 80, was found dead in his home on Saturday from a single gunshot, according to Lt. Jim Eyler of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. The medical examiner’s office ruled the death a suicide. Woodfield, who retired in 1991 as bureau chief in Baltimore, had been charged the day before with sexual abuse of a minor and other charges. Woodfield worked for the AP for more than 30 years, the entire time in Maryland. He was the bureau chief in Baltimore for 19 years…..

Aberdeen officials have cleared the way for a 500,000-square-foot business park next to Ripken Stadium, but not everyone sees the planned development as a home run for the city.

Towson developer J. Joseph Credit wants to put up the complex of four buildings to cash in on a wave of military jobs being shifted to Aberdeen Proving Ground as part of the military’s base realignment.

City leaders say the new offices — approved by Aberdeen Mayor Michael Bennett and City Council Aug. 24 — should help make up for a lack of space to accommodate thousands of workers. But the business park likely will not come with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue promised by earlier plans for the property. Credit had planned to build a 16-screen multiplex movie theater and 130,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space within walking distance of the stadium.

Construction at the Commons at Fieldside Village is not slated to begin until after Credit has lined up enough tenants to lease space at the property, according to city documents.

Credit, formerly CEO of Nottingham Properties Inc. and now head of Sherwood Partners LLC, has been planning to develop the property since 2002 as a companion to the city’s Ripken Stadium baseball stadium. He could not be reached for comment. The project’s costs have not been disclosed.

As much as 3.1 million square feet of commercial space will need to be built surrounding the military base for defense contractors, space which isn’t available in the county now.

Fieldside Village is just one of several planned business parks in the city, Miller said, and he expects many of those developments will start to move forward in the coming months. Developers including Manekin LLC, Stewart Associates and Preston Partners are all planning projects tied to BRAC. That’s in addition to two large business parks under construction by Corporate Office Properties Trust and St. John Properties Inc.

Ward Properties of Edgewood will break ground Thursday on a 700,000-square-foot business park in Abingdon to be anchored by a new Wegmans grocery store.

The developer is hoping to tap into a pent-up demand for office and retail space in the area, driven by an influx of several thousand military workers and defense contractors being shifted to the nearby Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Ward plans to hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the site, at Box Hill Corporate Drive and Woodsdale Road Thursday morning. The project, adjacent to the Box Hill Corporate Center, is being marketed by MacKenzie Retail LLC, which announced the groundbreaking plans Monday afternoon.

The Boulevard at Box Hill is slated to include more than 450,000 square feet of retail space and 50,000 square feet of restaurant space. It will include a 144,000-square-foot Wegmans to employ as many as 1,500 workers, MacKenzie announced. The store could open in 2011.
