City of Baltimore, Department of Planning

On Nov 3, Baltimore City voters will have the opportunity to approve four bond questions that would let the City borrow up to $280 million total for affordable housing, schools, economic development, and public infrastructure (Questions A–D).

Bonds let the City borrow money for large-scale projects and pay it back over time from future revenues, kind of like using a mortgage to purchase a home and paying it off over time.

Years may pass, but the memory of 9/11 remains forever etched in our hearts. Today, we honor the victims, their families, and the brave first responders who sacrificed everything. May we continue to stand together in unity, compassion, and resilience.
