Maryland -- More than 20 property owners in Gaithersburg have blocked city officials from leasing space for a day-laborer center that could help illegal aliens find work.
"It has been a difficult process," City Manager David Humpton said. "We've had many landlords say they just do not want to have a day-laborer center on their retail site."
Pressure to find a site quickly is mounting, Mr. Humpton said.
A resident task force on the issue is pushing for results, and Mayor Sidney Katz has directed officials to find at least a temporary site by July 10.
