Good piece in the Baltimore Sun from a few months ago about what a boondoggle this project has turned out to be: http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/federal-workplace/bs-md-blimps-20150924-story.html http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/federal-workplace/bs-md...

It's a test and a research project, as stated in that article. They found 10,000 ways that don't work. Edison would be proud.
