This week on Spotlight On Maryland, Gina Crash was joined in studio by Otis Rolley, President & CEO of the Baltimore Development Corporation, (BDC), to talk about their initiatives to grow the city's economy including their 2025 Baltimore Together Summit that kicks off October 27th at M & T Bank Exchange. The BDC is the economic development agency for the City of Baltimore. At the center of all this is Baltimore Together, their guiding strategy. It's how they bring government, community leaders, and private partners to the same table, all moving toward one goal: a stronger, more connected and more equitable economy. Baltimore Together serves as the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for Baltimore City.
This year's Summit will kick off on October 27th at the M & T Bank Exchange. Additionally, throughout the week from October 28-30, breakout session workshops will be held across the city, focusing on pivotal topics crucial to Baltimore's economic development and growth.
