Past Grants

Baltimore Development Corporation

To fund the costs of retaining a consultant whose responsibility is to develop consensus-building activities related to brownfields reforms. A strengthened State brownfields program, including an enhanced tax incentive package similar to the State Enterprise Zone Program, is considered one of the keys to economic revitalization of older cities like Baltimore and within the State’s Smart Growth strategies.

Baltimore Development Corporation

Two grants for administrative expenses of Maglev-Maryland, a magnetic levitation high-speed train which, when fully operational, will reduce travel time between Baltimore and Washington to less than 20 minutes.

Baltimore Development Corporation

Two grants toward an initiative designed to persuade nonprofit organizations, such as World Relief and the Association of Academic Physiatrists, to move their national headquarters or regional offices to Baltimore City.

Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development

Toward staffing for a vacant house intervention and community conservation program. This initiative is designed to identify vacant or problem properties in the community and to track these properties through the code enforcement process.

Baltimore Center for the Performing Arts

Four-year funding for leasehold improvements to the Hippodrome Theatre, a venue to house Baltimore’s premier Broadway road shows in the heart of the West Side redevelopment area on Eutaw Street between Baltimore and Fayette Streets.
