 Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and serves as the state's major cultural and industrial center. Baltimore Harbor is one of the best protected deepwater seaports in the world, with the Delmarva Peninsula shielding the area from most hurricanes and tropical storms, and the Appalachian Mountains protecting the city from much of the winter cold that would freeze the harbor.

Baltimore City Reaches 2009 YouthWorks Goal
Mayor Dixon announces that more than 7,000 teens will be offered summer jobs
Baltimore, MD (June 17, 2009) – Mayor Sheila Dixon announced that the 2009 YouthWorks summer jobs campaign exceeded its goal of providing summer jobs to 6,500 Baltimore City young people. This year, more than 7,000 youth and young adults, ages 14-24, will be offered summer job opportunities in private sector and nonprofit locations throughout the city.
Mayor Dixon spoke to young people and supporters of the initiative at a press conference hosted by the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture. The Mayor thanked her YouthWorks campaign chairs, Johns Hopkins Health System President Ronald Peterson and Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development’s (BUILD) Bishop Douglas Miles, as well as Councilwoman Rochelle “Rikki” Spector, and the hundreds of contributors who donated funds and hired teens resulting in the second consecutive summer to involve more than 6,500 participants.
“Even though our nation’s economy is not as strong as it was last year, I refused to let that be an excuse for not providing summer work experiences for our young people,” said Mayor Dixon. “Thanks to the generous support shown by our city’s businesses, communities, and individual citizens, we are able to offer a summer job opportunity to every youth who registered with YouthWorks.”

Baltimore City Announces Changes to 3-1-1 Call Center
Baltimore, MD (April 2, 2009) – Since the 3-1-1 Call Center opened in March 2002, it has received over 4.5 million telephone calls resulting in over 2.1 million requests for non-emergency service. Currently, 3-1-1 receives approximately 1.1 million calls per year - an average of 3,000 telephone calls per day.
In 2003, the Mayor’s Office of Information Technology expanded opportunities for the public to request City services online. Online request for service has increased to-date with an average of about 600 per week or just over 30,000 per year.
Today, the city of Baltimore announced changes to the staffing of the 3-1-1 Call Center during late night and early morning hours. Beginning on April 10, 2009, the Call Center will only accept limited calls between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. During the overnight hours, callers with urgent concerns will be referred to dispatchers to process the requests promptly. This change is part of Mayor Sheila Dixon’s effort to balance the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget.
Between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., the 3-1-1 service will be unchanged.
