State Center – Development – Contract, Plan Requirements, and Advisory Group

Summary

The bill changes the rules for any new or revised contracts to develop the 28-acre State Center site in Baltimore, requiring a community benefits agreement, a local hiring plan, and goals for minority- and women-owned businesses, and it creates a State Center Advisory Group. The advisory group, composed of neighborhood association leaders, anchor institutions and a local faith-based organization, must adopt conflict-of-interest policies and provide ongoing community input and transparency. The state may not approve a development contract unless these requirements are met.
