ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Gov. Larry Hogan has scheduled a news conference to discuss transportation infrastructure in Maryland.
The news conference is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Annapolis. It will be the first public appearance by the governor since he announced Monday that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
The governor's office declined to comment on details about the announcement ahead of time.
Hogan has said he would make an announcement by the end of the month about whether to move forward with the proposed Purple Line light rail in Montgomery and Prince George's County. The 16-mile light rail is estimated to cost $2.45 billion.
A decision also is pending on a light rail project in Baltimore, which also has been proposed. The $2.64 billion Red Line is a 14.1 mile east-west line.
