BDC acknowledges support from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for providing matching funds to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for Baltimore City. We are additionally grateful to our various partners for providing in-kind support for our BDC staff. Much appreciation must be extended to Baltimore City staff from various agencies – primarily the departments of Planning, Housing and Community Development (DHCD), Transportation, and the Mayor’s Office of Small, Minority and Women Business, the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development, and the Mayor’s Office of Cable and Communications. This broad collaboration between business, government, non-profits, and institutions was invaluable to the design and content of the strategic plan.
