Delegate Mark Edelson

It has been a busy week for the Edelson Office. As always, we are focused on economic development. We had the honor of joining the Governor as he signed HB1232. This bill, that I worked on in coordination with , , the , and a number of other anchor institutions, permits Baltimore City to enter into PILOT agreements for certain economic development projects and is absolutely essential to revitalizing our Downtown.

Keeping with the theme of economic development, I was thrilled to speak on a panel at the Accelerate Maryland Economic Forum. The conversation focused on innovative policies to support small businesses and encourage growth. It was an honest and timely conversation about our shared economic future. I look forward to many more.

For the past 4 years I’ve been working every day to fill the shoes of my predecessor, our incredible Comptroller Brooke Lierman. It is a steep task. It was wonderful to have her address the House of Delegates from the rostrum on sine die. Here’s hoping we both get at least four more years to do the work of the people!
