The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) is financing two major education projects in Baltimore -- the Maryland Institute College of Art's (MICA) Studio Center and Elmer A. Henderson: A Johns Hopkins Partnership School (Henderson-Hopkins). Both projects signal new momentum in challenged neighborhoods. TRF provided New Markets Tax Credits totaling over $20 million for both projects, which will bring over 200 jobs and serve over 700 students. "These projects are symbolic of TRF's long-term commitment to Baltimore," explained Don Hinkle-Brown, TRF's President and CEO. "In the past 5 years, we have invested $50 million in these neighborhoods through our lending and real estate development efforts. The MICA Studio Center and the Henderson-Hopkins school are more than just catalysts for economic development -- they are investments in creating world-class educational opportunities and building vibrant communities in Baltimore."
