"Kingsley Park, the dreary remnant of World War II-era housing projects on Baltimore County's east side that descended into dilapidated living conditions and a haven of crime, will be redeveloped into a new village of mixed-income housing...Now the surrounding area is alive, with new single-family housing developments and plans for a large public park and a waterfront destination on Middle River."
