“We are extremely honored to receive this award because it comes from our community,” said MPA Deputy Executive Director Broadwater. “The Port of Baltimore and Dundalk have been continuously linked for decades. As we move forward in the coming years, we will continue in our long-standing role as an economic generator for this community while doing so in a way that respects our local environment and the people who reside here.”
The Port of Baltimore is being honored for being one of Maryland’s leading economic engines and job creators, as well as for its efforts at working closely with communities to seek input and create partnerships in ways that benefit the local Dundalk community and the Port.
“The DRC is giving the "Renaissance Anchor of the Year" award to the Port of Baltimore because we recognize its importance as an economic engine for our community now and into the future while at the same time we see the Port taking care to operate and grow responsibly in how it impacts its neighbors and the natural environment,” said Amy Menzer, executive director of the Dundalk Renaissance Corporation. “As one of our major employers, the Port of Baltimore’s health and growth is creating opportunities for Dundalk residents now and also into the future.”
