Baltimore Together is a public-private initiative led by the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) to support the creation of a common vision of inclusive economic growth in Baltimore City. Through a thoughtful year-long process, a diverse group of stakeholders developed a comprehensive economic development strategy that builds on Baltimore’s strengths, acknowledges its challenges, and identifies a range of steps that will help create an inclusive and vibrant economy for all. Join the leadership of the Baltimore Development Corporation to learn about this initiative, its strategies and implementation, and the role BCD envisions for philanthropy.
