  • SEIZING the MOMENTUM, BUILDING a BRIGHTER FUTURE: Jobs
    STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE MAYOR SEIZING THE MOMENTUM, BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE: Jobs. Investment. Growth. A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for Baltimore December2014 2014 1 (This page intentionally left blank) FINAL DRAFT Letter from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake The City of Baltimore has a great story to share. With a thriving port, world-class leadership in higher education and health care and a vibrant mixture of arts, culture, history and waterfront, the City of Baltimore has long served as an economic engine for the State of Maryland. Even during challenging economic times nationally, our city has forged ahead, thanks to our remarkable entrepreneurial resiliency, from start-up technology companies to stalwart businesses that have called Baltimore home for more than a century. Baltimore has a proud past and a bright future. This report – Baltimore’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – offers a blueprint for us to continue to grow, to leverage our momentum and highly educated work force to create new economic activity that will benefit our entire city. It will guide our economic development for the next five years as a “living” document. If we truly believe that our best days of economic activity lie ahead, then we must constantly be willing to adapt this plan to ensure that Baltimore is doing all that we can to promote business activity. More than 300,000 people rely on Baltimore as their job center. Whether they are city residents or commuters from our surrounding suburbs, they understand Baltimore’s economic potential and contribute to it every day. While we embrace our historic industrial base, we are also working to cultivate the next generation of entrepreneurs and researchers who will develop new insights into technology, healthcare and advanced manufacturing.

  • Mackenzie Market Report
    THIRD QUARTER | 2014 MacKenzie Market Report Office Market www.mackenziecommercial.com BALTIMORE oFFICE oVERVIEW THIRD QUARTER | 2014 Regional Offi ce Market Turns the Corner in Q3 Presented by Anirban Basu, Sage Policy Group, Inc. Historical Vacancy Rates As followers of the local economy know, Maryland has emerged as an economic laggard. The state’s unemployment rate is now 0.3 percentage points above the national average. Three years ago, Maryland’s unemployment rate was 1.5 percent below the national average and the state could boast of its resilience during the Great Recession. No more. Recently released gross state product data indicate that Maryland’s economy failed to expand last year even as national output expanded nearly 2 percent. Maryland’s ranked 49th in the nation in terms of gross state product expansion, ahead of only Alaska’s more volatile and much smaller economy. Over the past twelve months, Maryland ranks 44th among the 50 U.S. states in terms of percentage job growth – 45th if one includes the District of Columbia. That said, to the extent that there has been evidence of growth in Maryland, it has generally taken place in the Baltimore metropolitan area, also home to the best baseball and football in the region. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Baltimore region added 24,600 jobs between August 2013 and August 2014, which represents 1.9 percent employment growth, precisely the rate of growth observed nationally for the same period. Not surprisingly, the Baltimore region’s offi ce market has emerged as one of Maryland’s more respectable economic stories, though hardly a fabulous one.

  • AN ARCHAEOLOGY of HAMPDEN-WOODBERRY By
    CLASS, COMMUNITY, AND MATERIALITY IN A BLUE-COLLAR BALTIMORE NEIGHBORHOOD: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF HAMPDEN-WOODBERRY by Robert C. Chidester A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Henry T. Wright, Chair Professor Howard A. Kimeldorf Professor Carla M. Sinopoli Associate Professor Martha S. Jones © Robert C. Chidester 2009 To Angela ii Acknowledgements Many people have played an important role in shaping both this dissertation and the research that went into it. In Hampden, I must of course thank the landowners who were so courageous as to allow two young archaeologists to lead a crew of teenagers in tearing up their yards: Paula Carder and John Schnabel, Mark Thistel and Robyne Lyles, Theresa and Robert Wagner, Curt and Lynn Millington, and Jeff Landsman of JBL Real Estate LLC. Without their generosity, the Hampden Community Archaeology Project (HCAP) would never have gotten off the ground. Equally important to the success of the project has been the tremendous support we have received from non-profit organizations and businesses alike in Hampden. Foremost among these is the Hampden Community Council, which has co-sponsored HCAP from the beginning. In particular, Allen Hicks and Genny Dill deserve utmost thanks for their work on our behalf. Also providing invaluable assistance and support were the Hampden Family Center, the Community Learning for Life high school program (now Independence School Local 1), Falkenhan’s Hardware, and the Rev. Robin Johnson and the parishioners of Hampden United Methodist Church.
