Ruth Baisden, president of the Greater Parkville Community Council, wants the Revenue Authority to formalize promises for money and parking at a meeting Thursday.
The leader of a Parkville community group wants the Baltimore County Revenue Authority to formalize concessions to help revitalize the Harford Road corridor as part if its sale of the public parking lot on Lavender Avenue.

Developer waits for state, Revenue authority to settle on a price for part of the parking lot.
The development of the Lavender lot in Parkville could hinge on the sale of a former bus stop located on the same property. Donald Hutchinson, chairman of the five-member Baltimore County Revenue Authority board, said a disagreement over price between the state Department of Transportation and the authority could nix the deal.

The authority sent the state a check but it was never cashed. "Now we're told by the lawyers that (the state) wants to sell it for market value—in excess of $100,000," said Hutchinson. The authority voted nearly a year …
