Baltimore City Redevelopment Project Awarded $100,000 State Grant; 75  
New Jobs Planned

Baltimore, MD - The Maryland Department of Business and Economic  
Development has made a $100,000 grant to support a mixed-use  
revitalization project by Seawall Development in Baltimore’s  
Remington neighborhood, Governor Martin O’Malley announced today.  
Using the grant made through the Brownfield Revitalization Incentive  
Program, Seawall will outfit a 21,770-square-foot building at 2600  
North Howard with commercial space, a performance venue and a butcher  
shop and restaurant by Spike Gjerde, the celebrated chef and  
restaurateur behind Woodberry Kitchen and Artifact Coffee. The $3.8  
million project is expected to be completed in December and will  
create 75 jobs over the next two years.

"Investing in communities like Remington is a sustainable and  
effective way to revitalize Maryland’s historic neighborhoods and  
support the arts that enrich Maryland’s culture," said Governor  
O’Malley. "The redevelopment of 2600 North Howard will create jobs,  
serve as an anchor for future revitalization and development in  
Remington, and expand the thriving Station North Arts & Entertainment  
District."
