Environmentalists and community activists are also opposing this project because of the adverse impact on wildlife, the air and noise pollution generated by auto raceways, and the congestion that will be brought to nearby residential areas.
Greater Baltimore Sierra Clubs members attended a recent Baltimore County Planning Board hearing to testify against the proposed zoning changes that would allow the racetrack to be developed on the parcel, which is currently zoned for manufacturing.
The Maryland Chapter Executive Committee has voted to oppose the track and has designated funds to be used in a possible legal battle.
