At HUB West Baltimore, we’re…

Development-Driven

We’ve planned not just for DC-scale commercial transit-oriented development at the West Baltimore MARC Station, but also for how that key sector will segue into the neighborhoods, and the soon-to-be-repurposed Highway to Nowhere/Franklin Dell corridor. We’ve catalogued and envisioned the entire area, and done the economic studies to back up the big ideas. If you’re a developer, we’re here as a resource with deep experience in the area - and with government and elected leaders. If you’re a potential homeowner - either shifting from other parts of Baltimore, or from areas beyond - we’re here to provide the tools to make your relocation decision as informed as possible.

Equity-Focused

We’ve got a plan for zero displacement - including 100% of the existing owner-occupiers - regardless of what level of revitalization occurs. And we’re working hard to see that the key elements of that plan - including several critical pieces of legislation - get passed. We’re fighting first for existing residents - through quality-of-life, crime and transportation initiatives. But we’re also keenly aware that the primary thing existing residents want is development - businesses, jobs, a greater diversity of incomes, and the decrease in crime that will come with revitalization. A number approaching 50% would be unprecedented, and would serve as a model for all future revitalizations nationwide - and we think we can do it here in West Baltimore.

Transportation-Catalyzed

MARC can run express trains now from the West Baltimore Station, and we’re working hard to compel the MTA to do just that. Thirty minutes door-to-door, Baltimore-to-Union Station. In the words of one senior state elected leader: “It’s a no brainer.” When the MTA finally gets around to doing it, it’ll be the biggest economic catalyst to hit West Baltimore in decades. The residents, economy and commercial corridors of HUB West Baltimore will be the key initial beneficiaries. Add in an east-west light rail line connecting directly into the station, and you’ve got the multi-modal foundation to export West Baltimore’s red-hot growth to the rest of the city.
