The Board of Public Works on Wednesday approved $10 million to support safety, security and streetscape improvements in Baltimore City’s central business district. The capital grant, provided to Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, reinforces the Moore-Miller Administration’s commitment to the revitalization of Baltimore City, aiming to make Maryland both more competitive and more affordable. With nearly $7 billion in development projects planned up to 2028, the state’s ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown include the relocation of more than 6,000 state employees to the central business district, the reimagined Lexington Market, as well as the revitalization of Baltimore Harborplace.
