I remember years ago Hogan used to point to O’Malley and Dems being the reason Baltimore didn’t have a Fortune 500 (or something along those lines) yet in the final month of his Governorship, he’s losing a fairly large company in the city. Doubt this will stick to him in terms of legacy, but he certainly deserves to take some of the blame here as his predecessor.

T. Rowe Price is on this year's Fortune 500 list. Their HQ is in Baltimore https://troweprice.gcs-web.com/

I thought it was in Owings Mills; they have a huge complex there.

They do, but I guess the corporation itself lists Baltimore as its main address. Their new Harbor Point campus will be amazing https://www.harborpoint.com/t-rowe-price-global-headquarters

I think Hogan’s responsible for the state, and not the city. A lot of the problems surrounding Baltimore MSA tie back to issues with City Governance, not state.

A good parallel to this is how may Ed Lee in San Francisco turned around an ailing San Francisco via the “Twitter Tax.” Not saying it was popular, but his vision led to a lot of economic prosperity for the city that helped impoverished and wealthy communities.
