ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today announced that the State of Maryland will invest $67.5 million to redevelop Harborplace during the second annual Baltimore Together summit. During the summit’s press conference this morning, MCB Real Estate Managing Partner P. David Bramble announced plans to revitalize and redevelop Harborplace in downtown Baltimore, representing a generational opportunity to reimagine Baltimore’s waterfront for the next century.
“This is what progress looks like: People from all backgrounds coming together to deliver for Baltimore. We cannot take this moment for granted. Because today isn’t just about how we redefine a cultural landmark – today is about how we rewrite the narrative of a city,” said Gov. Moore. “This is about ensuring our state’s largest city claims its rightful place in the American story. For this to be Maryland’s decade it has to be Baltimore’s time. And we will work together to make it so.”
Baltimore Together: A Platform for Inclusive Prosperity is the culmination of a two-year process to develop the city’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the next five years. Following a months-long community engagement process that touched thousands of residents, the plan presents a new, mixed-use waterfront that will promote environmental resiliency, enhanced open space and waterfront access, active retail and entertainment residential space.
“Harborplace is the beating heart of Baltimore – the place that is uniquely Baltimore that brings us all together. In recent years, it has reflected the mood of the City but not the hope of the City,” said MCB Real Estate Managing Partner P. David Bramble. “This project and this design activates the waterfront in a way that ensures it is for everyone in our City, our region and our State. We prioritized listening to the community to hear what they wanted and married it to what could actually be built. I’m so proud to share these plans with all of Baltimore because we deserve an internationally renowned waterfront that belongs to all of us.”
Under the theme Shape Baltimore’s Economic Future, today’s summit convened leaders from across the public, private, and social sectors, including Comptroller Brooke Lierman, Senate President Bill Ferguson, and Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott. Governor Moore later participated in a fireside chat with Colin Tarbert, president and chief executive officer of the Baltimore Development Corporation. The pair discussed the newly announced design plans for Harborplace, Governor Moore’s focus on Baltimore’s success and economic future, and Maryland’s Service Year Option, the first-in-the-nation public service year option for high school graduates that the governor launched on Friday.
Don’t see a police station. Need to arrest and PROSECUTE the thugs that are KILLING our city.
Build a Big PRISON for Baltimore Dump instead !!!! $$$$ Better Spent !!!!!
Democrats WAISTING more of Our Tax Money $$$$$ !!!!!
There is more urgent things to spend tax dollars on including lowering MD taxes. These DEMOCRATS need to close the check book until they get rid of the criminals / THUGS / GANGS / DRUG DEALERS from BALTIMORE. That is why I quit traveling to the INNER HARBOR and ORIOLES STADIUM for games. Just another pro thugs / criminals and not the citizens.
And that’s also why I travel to other states to spend my quality time at than Maryland has become over the years
It’s way to Democratic for me anymore
STOP waisting our TAX $$$$$$ on the SEWER BALTIMORE !!!!
How about fixing the violence and crime rate first.
Start by throwing Mosby in jail for her racist corruption.
Then think about rebuilding HarborPlace!
No just don’t waist OUR money

From the camera angle it’s impossible to see Jake Day kneeling behind & kissing Wes Moore’s butt.

How many Round-abouts / Bike Lanes ??????
Vote with your feet..before the tax sunami hits. when wasteful useless spending such as this is done for what!! For who!! You getting 1% ?
How about taking the burden off the backs of thosewho pay for this crap…taxation without representation is what we get in md. Can’t I WAIT TO MOVE!!
Hope they were standing in front of a bulletproof backdrop.
Normal, law abiding people are shunning that area of Charm City because of the criminal element that roams there. That’s the discretionary income that keeps shops, restaurants, etc in business, or not. I’m not the only one intentionally avoiding that cesspool, and that won’t change until it gets much better for an extended period.
kinda like polishing a turd aint it?
wes moore us a polished turd, see him shine
