project Summary
In September 2023, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) Board of Directors approved a request from the Executive Director of the Baltimore Convention Center (“BCC”) for MSA to assist with immediate capital infrastructure improvements and design work required for the future modernization of the BCC through the use of supplemental funding appropriated by the state and assigned to the MSA by House Bill 200 (2023).
In March 2024, the MSA Board of Directors approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (the “City”) and the MSA for the MSA to assist the City with immediate capital infrastructure improvements to the BCC as well as planning and design work required for the future modernization of the BCC in Baltimore, MD. The agreement, which formalizes MSA’s relationship and expected role on the project, has been reviewed and approved by the City’s legal counsel for execution by the Mayor and City Council.
As requested, MSA also managed a market and economic study for the BCC. The study was performed to evaluate the marketability and potential economic impacts of different redevelopment scenarios. In June 2025, MSA completed the study, and it can be downloaded below:
MSA’s role in managing studies is to provide unbiased and objective analysis which provides information to local officials to assist in the decision-making process about investment and benefits for their communities and constituents.
