John G. Rangos building to host Institute of Basic Biomedical Science
These issues have been brought to Councilman Warren Branch, representative of the Middle East Baltimore. Branch could not be reached for comment before press time.
In his remarks, Congressman Elijah Cummings passionately lauded sacrifices made by the residents.
"They could have been distrustful, but they worked with us … I hope we have earned it," he said.
"What we see in these blocks is not just bricks and mortar. It's the expression of the soul of the city," Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., said.
"When I look out and see what was accomplished in such a short period of time, I'm amazed," EBDI board chair Joseph Haskins said.
Haskin serves as CEO of the Harbor Bank of Maryland, which plans to open a branch in the neighborhood.
It will be the "first branch of a bank in East Baltimore in the last half century," he said.
Further plans for the area include construction of four more buildings.
Developers anticipated that companies and businesses in the Park will bring several thousand new jobs to the area.
In the same phase of development, construction will include 850 residential, mixed-income housing units, office and retail space, as well as creation of a elementary school.
The houses in the area where Gresham lives will be torn down so the school can be built.
Rangos's donation came as part of the University's Knowledge for the World fundraising campaign.
The Greek-American businessman helped promote the recent finalization of official collaboration between the School of Medicine and the University of Patras in Greece. Through student and faculty exchanges and collaboration, the two institutions will work together on research.
Archbishop Sotirios Athanassoula, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in Canada, closed the ceremony with a prayer.
Other attendees included University President William Brody, Congressman John Sarbanes and Hopkins Hospital physician-in-chief Myron Weisfeldt.
