Governor Moore Announces $73.7 Million for Community Revitalization and Economic Development Projects in Proposed FY 2027 Budget

Press release |
Updated:

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today announced $73.7 million in his proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget to fund 252 projects through the six state revitalization programs administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. The investments in county and municipal governments, community development organizations, and other community institutions and partners will support projects and activities directly advancing local revitalization goals in Maryland’s disinvested communities across the state.

“These projects are ready to move forward and will play a role in communities achieving their visions, which supports a more resilient, economically competitive and affordable Maryland,” said Gov. Moore. “The Moore-Miller Administration is committed to ensuring that every dollar awarded will help strengthen the places we call home.”

The projects in the proposed budget were selected through a competitively-scored, multi-agency review process used for the State Revitalization Programs, which help support revitalization and redevelopment projects and activities, including: business expansion and retention; façade and streetscape improvements; homeownership and home rehabilitation incentives; commercial improvement programs; community facilities; mixed-use development, and demolition activities.

“Each one of these projects advances community-driven priorities tied to revitalization goals, and helps make great places – places that strengthen economic competitiveness,” said Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Jake Day. “That investment delivers real returns: For every dollar invested through the Department’s revitalization programs, there’s approximately $17.90 in economic impact.”
