The redevelopment of The New East Baltimore Community will produce a wide range of business opportunities for companies owned by minorities and women who will be involved in a nationally renowned development that is anticipated to take 10 years to be completed.

Under the direction of the master developer, Forest City-New East Baltimore Partnership, LLC. (FC-NEBP), companies owned by minorities and women are actively participating in every phase of the development. Forest City-New East Baltimore Partnership's commitment to provide those opportunities for women and minorities to participate at every level of the development is a key component of the redevelopment of East Baltimore.
