Reply to comment by PleaseBmoreCharming in President set to give Maryland $56.1 million for water infrastructure upgrades by Animanialmanac

The article says specific projects for the funding have not yet been announced.

Thanks. Just surprised that WMAR would pick this up when it really doesn't have any local impact - that we know of.

50 million toward statewide wet infrastructure will obviously have a local impact. Particularly considering how many engineering and construction companies for the state are based in Baltimore.

You know what sucks about our local companies? Our own state doesn't use them in so many projects. And I really did not know this until I researched the company that created the new portal for unemployment. When that huge disaster came along, I found out the company headquarters was in India, when we had plenty of amazing ones here in maryland! Then I started looking at other city projects and it was all the same....Very disappointing.

This sounds like a great thing to report to local Baltimore media, whether it's the banner or wmar or wbal or the Sun. If you don't want to email, there are plenty of local reporters active on twitter.
