On June 2, 2012, The Mayor's Office of Information Technology launched a brand new Baltimore City website.

The entire web communications platform, from the core strategy to the front-end coding and design has been completely revamped from the ground up with a focus on streamlining processes, quality, extensibility and sustainability; all with existing resources.

We hope you like the changes we are making. If you have questions or comments, please email the Webmaster. Also, don't forget to check out the CIO's Corner for more Baltimore technology discussion.

Please join Mayor Rawlings-Blake’s citywide effort to make the summer of 2012 work for everyone – businesses, youth and our economy.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake and the Department of Public Works are challenging Baltimore City communities to get involved and get Baltimore growing – starting right in our own neighborhoods.

The City has built an online tool to allow you to provide your insight into balancing the budget based on the choices we must face. How would you balance the City’s budget?
