The Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore will now be a regular presence in Fells Point, with staff working to beautify, market and patrol the neighborhood under an agreement reached with local businesses.
New services to assist Fells Point will include more regular maintenance, beautification projects, uniformed safety patrols and guides, as well as increased marketing support. The nonprofit says it will also prioritize Broadway Square as a “center of activity” and better maintain Thames Street Park, and the neighborhood will have “a dedicated management team and staff specifically servicing the Fells Point district,” according to a release.
The expansion comes roughly half a year after the Baltimore City Council approved a bill extending the city’s so-called Waterfront Management District to include Fells Point, affording it the same perks enjoyed by Harbor East, Harbor Point and the Inner Harbor. Business owners in the Fells Point commercial district agreed in a vote to pay additional fees for the Waterfront Partnership’s services.
