In light of this ongoing issue, this practicum aims to identify the current proposal options, evaluate their potential effectiveness and offer a solution. A framework of basic economic principles, characteristics of competitiveness, goals for economic efficiency and examples of other U.S. cities was identified in order to assess the current tax reform proposals. It was concluded that the property tax reform proposal that has the most potential in fostering economic efficiency in the short-term while managing the competitiveness of Baltimore City in the long-term was one that combined a dramatic tax cut with other economic principles and characteristics.

ABC continues to serve as a catalyst, partnering with a broad range of individuals, organizations, and institutions to effect positive change for the economic health of the region, through our signature initiative, More in the Middle. While the tactics may evolve, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the belief that retaining, growing and attracting a stronger middle class holds the greatest promise for an economically viable region, which ultimately benefits us all. By urging and facilitating investment in our citizens from all segments of society, ABC is helping to close the health and wealth gaps that stifle prosperity and place so many families, especially African American and other minority families, at a disadvantage – economically, socially, academically and physically. Improving the economic and health status of adults will not only improve their lives, but will benefit their children’s future, and your children’s future as well. The correlation between family income and outcomes for children has long been established. During 2012, we educated and influenced citizens and policy makers, as well as members of the corporate, nonprofit, and philanthropic communities, in understanding how structural and institutional racism limit economic outcomes for people of color.

  • CHAP Task Force Report 2004
    Baltimore City Council President Sheila Dixon Commission on Historical and Architectural Preservation CHAP Task Force Report 2004 January 24, 2005 Baltimore City Council 100 N. Holliday Street, Room 400 «Baltimore Maryland 21202 410-396-4804 « Fax: 410-539-0647 Dear Citizens of Baltimore: Earlier this year the Commission on Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) moved from the Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development. It was moved to the Planning Department to take advantage of additional staff with different types of skills. While some feel this move will cause CHAP to lose its identity, it really was a way to enhance their ability to continue their work. The entire Planning staff will have the advantage of CHAP being involved in the front end of any development project that is undertaken by the City of Baltimore. CHAP will be able to contribute to community plans as developed and reviewed by the Department of Planning (Urban Renewal Plans, SNAP Program, and the Comprehensive Plan). A Task Force was formed to study the role of CHAP and historical preservation in Baltimore City. The Task Force members worked quickly and diligently to complete this project, so the new Council Members would have a clear understanding of the significance of Baltimore City’s Historical Districts and the role of CHAP. Citizens volunteered, with different perspectives, to complete the recommendations in this report: Architects, Business Community, Baltimore City Planning Department, Baltimore City Housing Department, Historic
