Randallstown

Our Moment

Randallstown is one of Baltimore County’s strongest communities—an affluent, majority-Black suburb where more than a third of residents identify as entrepreneurs. Anchoring the corridor are key assets: Northwest Hospital, a new elementary school and the planned 90,000-square-foot community center at 8212 Liberty Road.

For 45 years, Randallstown has been promised a Liberty Road renaissance. Four revitalization plans have been drafted, but none fulfilled. Early plans offered hope, later ones weakened as residents lost faith in the County’s will to act. Enough is enough. Randallstown does not need another study—it needs action.

Our Mission

We have the opportunity to build strength upon strength. We can use those key assets to generate momentum towards a comprehensive vision for a bustling, vibrant mixed-use community. 

A small area plan for Randallstown should involve a circulator and incubator to support the entrepreneurial community. The plan should drive towards a town center vision that includes a walkable mixed-use corridor along Liberty Road linked with transit and the assets already has.

Additionally, partnering with Morgan State or Coppin State to create a satellite campus, modeled after the USM at Shady Grove, would bring the first higher education institution to Randallstown thus bringing innovation and entrepreneurship resources directly to residents, expanding educational pathways and driving community-centered economic growth.

We must empower the Greater Randallstown Development Corporation with the resources and authority to lead revitalization as a trusted, community-driven partner to the small area plan that reimagines the vital core to include high-end dining, a jazz club or open air arts and music venues which honor Randallstown’s identity and charm.

Randallstown has the people, the institutions and the will to thrive. What it has lacked is a County government ready to match its urgency. Working together with renewed systems, Liberty Road can finally become the vibrant town center envisioned for nearly half a century—an engine of prosperity rooted in community pride.
