Beyond nearby residents missing out on this tremendous opportunity for transit-oriented economic development, located on one of the city's largest transportation hubs, the entire city will also suffer a blow to its workforce. The 3,000-plus state jobs located at State Center are primarily good paying, middle-class positions, held by Baltimore City residents, many of whom utilize public transportation to get to and from work. If the state agencies located at the complex are moved to other locations, it is virtually guaranteed these jobs will end up being relocated from the city. It may not happen next year, it may not happen in 2020, but it will happen. It is only a matter of time before these agencies are moved to the surrounding counties. As Baltimore City fights on despite decades of disinvestment, its people's strength and resilience should not be unjustly tested yet again. We cannot lose these jobs. The recent news of the relocation of 99 jobs outside of the city is alarming and begs the question of what's next.
