Baltimore Together
Summit

Some of key takeaways from the inaugural Baltimore Together Summit were:

• BIPOC-owned companies are seeing success in Baltimore and Black employment is increasing in key growth sectors.  However, economic racial disparities remain unacceptable and must continue to be addressed.
• Baltimore’s time is now. There is clear alignment between the city and the state that must be leveraged
• Baltimore will only succeed through radical collaboration both citywide and regionally
• Baltimore must innovate quickly to benefit from the recently approved federal programs – namely the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act.
• Major investments in transportation, workforce training, housing and infrastructure must be made in partnership with the state to realize the city’s full economic potential.
• Young people will drive the future economy and must be part of current strategies and conversations.
