Maryland lawmakers who represent Baltimore announced $166 million in state funding on Thursday for the city’s downtown and Inner Harbor.
The funding was secured over the last two legislative sessions and will continue through fiscal year 2025.
“There is no city in America that has a thriving uptown without a thriving downtown,” said Senate President Bill Ferguson, a Baltimore Democrat. “To truly build a better Baltimore, we must transform our Downtown and Inner Harbor into a space built for and with our City’s residents in mind.”
The funding includes $50 million for the relocation of state employees from State Center to the Central Business District. It also includes $11.5 million for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore.
