Money for Roads - This is a long shot, but everyone is hoping to see some state funds for road improvements and other infrastructure upgrades in Odenton. At the very least, officials in town should be able to prioritize projects to grab money stemming from impact fees in town.Â
Starbucks? - We know some real estate brokers are going after the coffee chain hard. Will the company sign on?
Some State Titles - Local high school sports teams had good years, but no one brought home the top prize. Will anyone win a state championship at Arundel, Old Mill or Meade High in 2013?
