Gov. Wes Moore

It is people who will put arbitrary barriers in the way of it happening because change is tough and change is hard. And I get it. I also know we need to be better. If you want to grow an economy, if you want to invite more people in, if you want to bring housing prices down, you must increase inventory. You know, it's true.

Many are saying that Maryland is probably one of the most aggressive states in the country right now when it comes to building more housing. I agree. Guilty as charged. Because a lot of people are not going to touch it because it is politically challenging. It is politically fraught. It is a third rail of American politics. I understand that. And we have to be unafraid to touch it.

Because if we do not, you will never be able to get the economic growth and the economic prosperity that you're hoping for. So, yes, I'm very aggressively pro-housing. And we're going to continue to be as long as I'm the governor of the state.

Yeah. Well, you know, March 26th is the year anniversary of the Key Bridge collapse. And I'm telling you, man, I'm never going to get that morning when I got a call at 202 in the morning that the Key Bridge was gone and that the Port of Baltimore, which represents about 13% of our economy, was now shut down.

A bridge that's about a two mile long bridge that 40,000 people went over every day was now in the bottom of the river. And then we had six Marylanders who we lost that morning. So I remember that first morning we laid out four objectives as I stood there with a whole phalanx of leadership. And I said, you know, we are going to bring closure and comfort. to these families.

We're going to reopen the federal channel as quickly as possible. And people told us it would take 11 months. We got it done in 11 weeks. We said we're going to make sure that everybody who was impacted was going to be supported, the port workers, their families, the small businesses. And we did that. And I said, and we're going to we are going to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

And so I'm thankful that late last year with bipartisan support, Republicans and Democrats, Congress voted for the 100 percent cost share for the Key Bridge rebuild. So we're already in the process of moving. We're already doing the analysis of soil sampling starting off this spring. We're going to finish the final demolition of the. of the pillars that are still up and start the reconstruction.
