Maryland officials approve leases, funding for Baltimore to move forward with State Center redevelopment plan

Maryland officials approved a $500,000 grant Wednesday for Baltimore to move forward with a redevelopment plan for the city’s State Center complex. The Board of Public Works also approved leases Wednesday for the Department of Labor and the Department of Information Technology — the last two state agencies remaining at State Center — to move to office spaces on Charles Street downtown, clearing the way for the complex to be officially vacated next Fall.
