When Johnny Olszewski ran for Baltimore County Executive he talked about growing up in the shadow of the steel mill, Bethlehem Steel. This steel mill is long gone and today we are discussing Eastern Baltimore County’s ongoing economic recovery, which has been at least partly due to the Tradepoint Atlantic development on the old Bethlehem Steel site.

County Executive Olszewski joined Midday from Chicago, where he is attending the Democratic National Convention, to discuss the economy in the eastern region of the county.

The demise of the Bethlehem Steel Plant at Sparrows Point was devastating for the economy of Eastern Baltimore County.

Ten years ago, investors bought the 32-hundred acre steel plant property and since then have transformed it into a global logistics center called Tradepoint Atlantic. Thousands of people work there, and there are plans to build a deep water container terminal, which Tradepoint estimates will create 8,000 more jobs by 2035.

Aaron Tomarchio, Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Tradepoint Atlantic, joins us to talk about the economic recovery in Eastern Baltimore County along with Pete Triantafilos, the general manager of the Costas Inn in Dundalk.
