Establishing a horse park in western Anne Arundel County would cost 
$114.2 million, according to a long-awaited study released today that 
state officials hope will boost support for the stalled project.

The report by the Maryland Stadium Authority found that the horse park 
on 857 acres of rolling farmland in Gambrills, owned by the Navy, will 
draw nearly 800,000 visitors each year, generating an annual economic 
benefit to the county of more than $104 million.

...

In an apparent overture to the Navy, the report notes that Bill, the 
goat that is the Navy game mascot, and his understudy would remain in 
residence on the dairy farm.
