The ongoing question as to "What should be done with the old Fawcett building in downtown Annapolis" has split supporters of solutions into two camps: those who think it should be kept as a maritime-zoned property that can only be used for businesses or interests of that type and those who support rezoning to allow a developer to pursue his interests of moving the building footprint back from the water and housing businesses other than those of a maritime nature.
If you're of the "keep it maritime" theme, you may be interested in this gathering Tuesday morning:
New Annapolis Coalition Formed By Residents, Businesses, Historic Preservationists, & Maritime Industries to Oppose City Council Assault on Maritime and Historic Zoning at City Dock
Coalition to call on City Council to reject precedent-setting piecemeal approach, risking permanent erosion of Maritime and Historic Zoning laws in place for decades

Who: Ward One Residents Association, Annapolis Business Association, Historic Annapolis Foundation, Marine Trades Association of Maryland, United States Yacht Shows, Fleet Reserve Club, and many City Dock businesses and Annapolis residents form Coalition to Save Annapolis.
What: The Coalition to Save Annapolis is comprised of organizations and individuals concerned about the potential negative effects of the Annapolis City Dock Master Plan, and specifically the Annapolis City Council Ordinance O-7-13.
