About EBDI:
East Baltimore Development, Inc. (EBDI) is a 501 [c] [3] established by community, government, institutional and philanthropic partners to revitalize, re-energize and transform an 88 acre neighborhood in East Baltimore, now called Eager Park, by:

• Leveraging its proximity to the Johns Hopkins medical complex as a stronger economic driver for the neighborhood – increasing investment and employment in medical and life sciences industries, spurring new housing development and capturing a greater community contribution from students, employees, faculty and visitors.
• Ensuring the demolition, construction and development activities undertaken as part of this initiative produce significant economic benefit to residents and businesses of East Baltimore while growing the life sciences industry of Baltimore.
• Strengthening and revitalizing greater Middle East Baltimore with institutions and amenities that will encourage former residents to return and new residents to settle in this community.
• Replacing aging, obsolete, lead-filled houses with a variety of new and rehabbed mixed-income units of rental and for-sale housing that meet the needs of today’s diverse families.
• And in doing these things, ensuring that those families directly affected by the redevelopment are supported and treated fairly and respectfully.

EBDI is supported by public and private partners, including the U.S. Government, the State of Maryland, the City of Baltimore, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Johns Hopkins Institutions, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies and others. When completed, the project will include roughly 1,600 units of mixed income housing, 1.7 million square feet of life sciences research and office space, a new 7-acre community learning campus with an early childhood center and a public K- 8 elementary school, a new community linear park and other green spaces, and a fresh food stores and other neighborhood serving retail amenities.
