Hogan submits funding for plan to fight Baltimore blight

Hogan proposed the plan last month to help pave the way to revive impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhoods, but the absence of funding in Hogan's budget proposal for the initiative last month left Democrats questioning how the plan would be funded.

The program will be supported by more than $600 million in financing opportunities over the next four years from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development to encourage private-sector developers to revitalize neighborhoods through housing and commercial investments, the administration said.
