Baltimore's
New EastSide will eventually comprise
an 88-acre, $1.8 billion urban redevelopment effort that
combines significant new business activity with new
housing and a high level of human services. It
is a one of a kind effort that brings together
leadership from the community, business, government, and
foundations to rebuild East Baltimore.
The
community will have 1,200 new or renovated homes
for mixed-income buyers and renters, including town
homes, duplex homes, apartments and senior housing.
Up to 6,000
new jobs will be created for skill levels ranging from
high school to those with advanced college degrees.
This project builds upon the great community that
already exists in East Baltimore with opportunities for residents as well as
newcomers. It is a unique community building effort
fueled by an economic engine that will expand upon our
region's reputation as a leader in biotechnology and
research.
