Regional Strategic Investments
The Baltimore Region is fortunate enough to have a strong foundation of assets upon which economic opportunity has been built. While the region has seen steady growth and development over the past 20 years, being globally competitive in the 21st Century economic landscape demands strong collaboration between jurisdictions and across sectors to fully realize the economic potential of such sites.
Partnership with economic and development leaders
GBC works closely with local economic development professionals to understand the full scope of the Baltimore Region’s strategic assets. Having this knowledge enables the organization to serve as a bridge between developers, end-users, and the public sector to identify and address priority site and facility needs at a strategic level.
Elevating the importance of regional assets
GBC leverages its voice to champion established and shovel-ready sites that align with the broader economic ambitions of the Baltimore Region. The organization provides vital research and advocacy attesting to the impact that large-scale industrial sites and commercial development projects have in enabling the region’s business sectors to compete on a global scale.
Baselining the region's economic progress
Having actionable data on investment activity serves to showcase the strength of the Baltimore Region’s strategic sites to the wider world. In April 2024, GBC held the first-ever Pulse Check: The Scorecard Summit which quantified that the Baltimore Region attracted more than $4.2 billion in new investments and expansion announcements over the previous year.
