Bernard C. “Jack” Young, President and Members of the City Council City Hall, Room 400 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 Re: Fiscal Year 2016 Proposed Ordinance of Estimates Dear Mr. President and Council Members: The proposed Fiscal 2016 Board of Estimates Budget Plan reflects a recovering economy. It continues the city’s momentum toward fiscal sustainability, boosts investments in infrastructure and economic growth, and makes city services more proactive while trimming the workforce to its smallest size in modern history. The budget plan projects General Fund revenue growth of $72.9 million (4.4%) over the Fiscal 2015 estimate, the largest increase since before the Great Recession. The revenue growth is driven by rising property values. Triennial assessments for Group 3 properties (southern tier of the city) were up by 9.6%, marking the second year in a row of assessment growth after four years of decline. My Ten-Year Financial Plan has already cut the city’s long-range structural budget deficit by more than half, reduced the property tax rate by more than six percent for homeowners, pumped nearly one hundred million new dollars into blight elimination and infrastructure projects, and shrunk the city’s unfunded pension and health care liabilities by $850 million (27%). The budget plan makes responsible choices to continue this kind of progress, including restructuring the Charm City Circulator to cut operating costs and invest in fleet replacement; boosting General Obligation borrowing to a record $65 million while maintaining sound debt ratios; shrinking the size of the city’s fleet while continuing an aggressive vehicle replacement iii program to lower maintenance and fuel costs; eliminating unnecessary health benefit costs while improving employee wellness; and strengthening the city’s balance sheet by building reserves and addressing fund deficits that I inherited when I became Mayor. I have encouraged city agencies to find creative ways to make their services more proactive, to get ahead of the service call backlogs that result in reactive and inefficient work. Over the past two years, the city has taken steps to mow vacant properties

  • DRAFT - for Public Comment
    DRAFT - For Public Comment Baltimore Together A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy DRAFT - For Public Comment August 2, 2021 1 DRAFT - For Public Comment Building the New Economy in Baltimore This economic development plan identifies critically important goals to strengthen Baltimore City’s economy and create new opportunities for residents and businesses. It outlines strategies and tactics for reaching those goals, and the Baltimore Together team hopes this document will serve as a call to action and roadmap for a range of partners over the next five years. If we choose not to adopt the strategies in this report and continue on our current path, the outcomes are bleak. The city will continue to experience extreme racial disparities. Small businesses will struggle. Residents will continue to leave the city, and neighborhoods will decline. Baltimore will miss the opportunity to lead in key sectors, forgoing significant economic benefits for its residents and tax base. We can and must do better. Please join us as we work to build a new, inclusive, and thriving economy in our city. Go to the Baltimore Together website and sign up to get involved. About Baltimore Together Baltimore Together is a public-private initiative led by the Baltimore Development Corporation to support the creation of a common vision of inclusive economic growth in our city. Through a thoughtful and intentional process, a diverse group of stakeholders developed a Baltimore Together vision: Baltimore will show the world how to create an urban economy that is based on diversity, inclusion, and resiliency and uplifts historically excluded Baltimoreans, while attracting investment, businesses, and people committed to contributing to an equitable economy.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Project Description The Painted Path will connect historic heritage and modern cultural sites through creative wayfinding to engage visitors and increase tourism in the Bromo Arts & Entertainment District (The District).

Community volunteers will paint the final piece of sidewalk art, marking the completion of the project. The Painted Path is a self-guided walking tour, drawing visitors to significant District sites and allowing these sites to interpret their own heritage and cultural history.

  • SPRING/Summer 2017 Maryland Blood: an American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present
    MARYLAND Hisorical Magazine SPRING/SUMMeR 2017 Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present Martha Frick Symington Sanger At the dawn of the seventeenth century, immigrants to this country arrived with dreams of conquering a new frontier. Families were willing to embrace a life of strife and hardship but with great hopes of achieving prominence and wealth. Such is the case with the Hambleton family. From William Hambleton’s arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major confict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has par- ticipated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Teir achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government ofcials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also re- markable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. Te blood of the Hambletons is also the blood of Maryland, a rich land stretching from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the tidal basins of the mighty Chesapeake to the mountains of the west, a poetic framework that illuminates one truly American family that continues its legacy of building new genera- tions of strong Americans. Martha Frick Symington Sanger is an eleventh-gen- eration descendant of pioneer William Hambleton and a great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick. She is the author of Henry Clay Frick: An Intimate Portrait, Te Henry Clay Frick Houses, and Helen Clay Frick: Bitter- sweet Heiress.

As an initial step, I requested the Urban Land Institute (ULI), an independent global nonprofit focused on real estate development and land use, to conduct a thorough assessment and engage a diverse group of stakeholders for input and critical feedback.
