An interesting tidbit:

"Scioli Turco has used Act 135 to clean up dozens of neglected buildings around the city, including the asbestos-ridden, former steam plant a few blocks east of the viaduct, at Ninth and Willow Streets. In that case, Scioli Turco acted as a kind of overseer to ensure that the building’s owner, developer John Wei, carried out an approved remediation plan. The work was completed last year, and Wei told the court he now plans to convert the longtime eyesore into apartments."

How did I miss that the Willow Steam plant was turning into apartments? As a kid I'd always stare out the window on 676 at it in amazement. Later on I'd always associate it with trips to the Electric Factory. It's good to hear it will be saved because it's so iconic. I always dreamed of a Baltimore Powerpoint Live type setup with it.
