A report conducted by the Office of the Inspector General shows that Baltimore County appeared to give preferential treatment to major local developer David Cornish, who requested to build his tennis facility larger than his home.
The report showed that Cordish was not required to go through a Special Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, which is customarily required when a Baltimore County resident proposes building a structure on their property larger than their primary home.
Cordish proposed building an enclosed tennis facility of about 15,000 sq feet, which would be larger than his home.
"In 2021, the Office received a complaint that alleged the County gave a prominent developer, David Cordish, preferential treatment concerning the proposed construction of a large enclosed tennis facility, at times referred to as a tennis barn, at his residence in Baltimore County," according to the report.
