Strategic Demolition Fund-Statewide

Strategic Demolition Fund Main_Content ​​​​​​The Strategic Demolition Fund seeks to catalyze activities that accelerate economic development and job production in existing Maryland communities. The Fund aims to improve the economic viability of "grey field development," which often faces more barriers than sprawling “green field development.” Since funds are limited, awards will focus on those projects that can have a high economic and revitalization impact in their existing communities. The Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative ​ is the Baltimore City-specific demolition program. Program guidelines and more information may be found on its webpage.
