What the EDA could do for BMR

Happy Tuesday, Baltimore. Below, you'll see a story about a major effort to bring more federal support to Baltimore — and, crucially, its tech development and workforce efforts.
 
Alanah Nichole Davis' article looks into a recent Greater Baltimore Committee-led effort to get the region classified as a tech hub under the US Economic Development Administration's Tech Hubs program. This federal initiative could potentially bring millions to the city and surrounding counties, as well as support economic development associated with the tech sector.

Take a look at the article to learn more about the 40 partners already involved in the bid, and let us know what you think of the application (and what it could or should do for this region) by emailing baltimore@technical.ly or responding to this email.
