Projects like MCB’s reimagined Harborplace will jumpstart Baltimore’s renewal

As a native Baltimorean, I long for a catalyst project and/or investment that jumpstarts the journey of Baltimore reaching her potential. History tells us that my beloved city once had a population of 949,000 in 1950, and has seen a precipitous drop in population over the last 70 years. Today, our population hovers around 575,000. Given this, we need big ideas to excite and entice prospective residents to call Baltimore home and legacy residents to decide to remain.
