Opportunity Zones

Current Designation Process

The Opportunity Zone program is entering a new designation cycle, and BDC is leading Baltimore City’s public engagement process.

Community feedback will help identify areas for consideration and inform the City’s recommendations before they are submitted through the State of Maryland for federal designation.

Whether you are a resident, business owner, developer, or community organization, your input is an important part of shaping Baltimore’s future investment priorities.

Why Opportunity Zones Matter

Opportunity Zones encourage long-term investment that can:

  • Attract private capital
  • Support commercial and mixed-use development
  • Encourage business investment
  • Create jobs
  • Strengthen neighborhoods
  • Advance long-term economic growth

Investment in Baltimore

BDC works with investors, developers, community organizations, and public partners to support investment in Baltimore’s Opportunity Zones.

Current Opportunity Zone investments have supported mixed-use redevelopment, affordable housing, technology companies, minority-owned businesses, and other projects that contribute to Baltimore’s economic growth and neighborhood revitalization.
