Five Years, Fifty Thousand Jobs:
Acting Now On Regional Transportation
By Barry Rascovar
Over the next half decade, implementation of the federal Base Realignment and Closure process will present the Baltimore region with an unprecedented influx of jobs and new residents. With them will come an equally unprecedented opportunity to reshape the region, as well as to accelerate rebuilding Baltimore City’s population.
This latest in the Foundation’s series of occasional papers argues that making the most of this opportunity will require business, civic, and political leaders to turn serious and immediate attention to improvements in the region’s transportation networks. Written by veteran journalist Barry Rascovar, the paper also describes a number of specific actions that might be taken and, importantly, how they might be financed.

GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS, GREAT CITY: 2004 UPDATE
By David Boehlke
This is a revised and updated version of the Goldseker Foundation’s inaugural occasional paper, published three years ago. The original described Healthy Neighborhoods, a model of community revitalization that stresses real estate investment and resident involvement, rather than the traditional public subsidy approach, as the keys to stronger urban neighborhoods.
Since its inception four years ago, Healthy Neighborhoods has attracted significant private funding and has expanded from the original six Baltimore neighborhoods to ten, as local real estate markets become reenergized. A new entity, Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc., has recently been created to expand the program beyond its pilot phase and greatly increase its reach and financial support. This Update describes progress to date and lessons learned.

The Frog’s Lesson:
The Baltimore Region 2002
October 2002
Although the Baltimore region enjoys a well-deserved reputation for a
high overall quality of life, a recently released report concludes, "…there
is an increasingly urgent need to organize and use this area's considerable
intellectual, physical, and economic assets far more effectively in the
years ahead." Failure to do so, the report claims, will badly inhibit
the region's ability to compete with similar urban areas for jobs and
human talent.
The report, The Frog's Lesson: The Baltimore Region 2002, is one
of a series of occasional papers published by the Goldseker Foundation
on topics of community interest. Data underlying the report were produced
by Dr. Royce Hanson and a team of researchers from University of Maryland,
Baltimore County.
"The title comes from the old fable about a frog who didn't pay attention
to the fact that the pot of water he was sitting in was gradually being
made hotter," according to Timothy D. Armbruster, the Foundation's
President and CEO. "He never did notice what was happening to him,
and he got cooked. Bad things can creep up on regions, too, if we don't
pay attention."

Great Neighborhoods, Great City by
David Boehlke
November 2001
The Goldseker Foundation presents the first in a series of occasional
papers of matters of interest to the broader Baltimore community: Great
Neighborhoods, Great City, a report written by David Boehlke on the Healthy
Neighborhoods approach to revitalizing Baltimore's neighborhoods. In this
report, Boehlke offers a highly readable overview of the basic principles
and strategies of Healthy Neighborhoods, and argues that Baltimore should
use this approach more extensively to revitalize "neighborhoods in
the middle" threatened by decline. Click the link below to view the
