The Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) gratefully acknowledges the support from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for providing matching funds to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for Baltimore City.
We want to express our deep gratitude to the 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 among businesses, government, non-profits, and institutions has been invaluable to the design and content of the strategic plan. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this plan a success.
“We are inspired by the collective pursuit of an inclusive economy where all people and communities are assets. Baltimore Together is aggregating those assets to demonstrate our city’s strength and expand our potential.”
“As the greatness of Baltimore continues, we need to provide affordable housing, economic opportunities, reliable public transportation, and safe neighborhoods so that no one is left behind. We are proud to champion bringing “Baltimore Together” through equitable investments and inclusive public-private partnerships.”
“In forging this partnership and focusing on meaningful investments in Baltimore’s historically underserved communities, we are creating a more resilient and prosperous future for the city.”
We also extend our sincere thanks to our ecosystem stakeholders, whose active engagement and collaboration have been crucial to this plan. Additionally, we appreciate the various partners who have provided in-kind support for our BDC staff.
