Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott delivered his State of the City address, reflecting on the pandemic, the significance of the American Rescue Plan, and future initiatives. Mayor Scott’s top priorities include public safety, youth, neighborhood development, pay equity, and clean and healthy communities.
Mayor Scott spoke about the city’s public safety and violence prevention efforts, noting that Baltimore is reimaging their policing strategy. A key element of his strategy is ensuring the city’s actions are collaborative and connect residents to the resources they need, such as the Community Violence Intervention Ecosystem, which will offer wraparound services for crime victims.
“Baltimore, we are on the cusp of a long-overdue renaissance, and we are doing the work to ensure that it happens not just for us but for the generations to come. But we still have so much to do, and I am committed to seeing this work through to completion,” said Mayor Scott.
