A judge ruled Thursday in favor of Johns Hopkins University in a years-long dispute over land slated to be used for a “Science City” in Germantown.
The university has been embattled with the family of Elizabeth Beall Banks, who sold the university her Belward Farm in 1989.
Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Ronald B. Rubin ruled that Johns Hopkins could lease out portions of Belward Farm. Banks’ family had argued the university was leasing too much of the farm and not using it for its original intent as a space for the university to establish a research facility.
