Baltimore Region Investment Attraction

The Greater Baltimore Committee’s Annual Investment Scorecard shows a regional economy gaining speed and scale, with record levels of capital flowing into strategic projects, startups, and job creation. By tracking major deals across Baltimore City and the six surrounding counties, the scorecard provides a clear, data‑driven view of where the region is growing—and where new opportunities are emerging.

Leadership & 2026 Goal

The Economic Investment Committee strengthens the Baltimore Region’s ability to attract and grow business investment through a coordinated regional strategy. In the year ahead, the committee will focus on building a proactive investment pipeline and coordinated outreach—aligning public, private, and civic partners around site readiness, priority sectors, and business expansion opportunities.
