The Region’s Moral and Economic Imperative
We have the diverse talent, jobs, transportation, and innovation ecosystem needed to thrive.
The region, from Baltimore to Richmond, is lagging other large cities and cross-jurisdictional regions nationwide when it comes to racial inclusion and geographic prosperity, and there is a lot of work to be done. Inclusive growth should be at the forefront of business decisions for every company across the region. This can only be done by breaking down long-term barriers to economic opportunity and then measuring impact to advance inclusive growth.
