Anchor Institutions
Anchor Institutions influence the BIP Target
Areas
 Eastside (JHH)
 Central Baltimore (UB, MICA, and JHU)
 Westside (UMB, Coppin, Bon Secours).
Opportunity: Build on proximity of these institutions as influencing
agents in the target areas for the revitalization and the workforce
development opportunities that they may offer particularly through:
 Local hiring practices
 Procurement activities (local small /minority businesses)
 Capital investments (both revitalization and job opportunities)
