Overview
The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development supports thousands of projects each year, from fixing up storefronts on Main Street to large multi-family housing developments. We are dedicated to helping preserve Maryland’s historic communities.
Sometimes, it isn't possible to preserve every building. In some cases, we need to remove unsafe, damaged buildings or improve the area to better serve the community.
As required by State and Federal law, we work with the State Historic Preservation Office (Maryland Historical Trust) to evaluate how our projects affect cultural resources such as historic buildings and archaeological sites. We try to avoid, limit, or address any harm. This process is called "Section 106 Review".

Current Projects Seeking Comment
We review many projects with the Maryland Historical Trust each year. Only a few projects harm historic sites and need special attention. This page will be updated with information about selected projects that we are asking for feedback from the public. Your feedback will help us identify important historic sites and guide our decisions on how to address them.
The Residences at Greenmount North
Location: 2434 and 2450 Greenmount Avenue, Baltimore City
Project Overview: The developer is seeking to redevelop the site of two long term vacant structures using state grant funds.
-
2434 Greenmount Avenue: An existing two-story brick building, constructed around 1920. It was originally built as a commercial laundry facility.
-
2450 Greenmount Avenue: The property next door is an existing three-story brick commercial building, constructed at the same time as 2434 Greenmount Avenue.
Both properties have been vacant for a very long time and are in bad condition. The developer plans to demolish both buildings and build a new four story building with ground floor commercial and 49 residential apartments above.
