FOCUS AREA

The focus of HUB West Baltimore Community Development Corporation is the area enclosed by the 6-10 block radius around the West Baltimore MARC Station, described in the map below. The borders of the focus area of HWB CDC are W. Lafayette Street to the north, Monroe Street to the east, Frederick Avenue to the south, and Franklintown Road to the west.

The focus area includes roughly 80 blocks that currently represent arguably the most disinvested area of the entire State of Maryland. But owing to the low baseline of economic activity and the unique transportation service upgrades coming to the MARC station, those blocks also describe perhaps the greatest opportunity for year-over-year growth in economic output, development, and real estate appreciation in the entire region.
