Gaithersburg, Maryland -- The owners of a Gaithersburg shopping center yesterday pulled out of a deal to lease space for a day laborer center, citing disapproval from other businesses in the complex.
Richard Levitt, chairman of the Nellis Corp., which owns the Festival at Muddy Branch Shopping Center, met yesterday with about two dozen tenants to discuss the proposed day laborer center.
"They felt this would be harmful to their businesses, to their sales," Mr. Levitt said after the meeting. "We have a responsibility to the investors."
