What is the city proposing?

Baltimore will create a “sub academy” to train a cohort of subcontractors to use city resources, apply for bids, and improve their general business practices. If this model is successful, they will expand it into a series of “sub academies” for broad categories of subcontractor work, each timed to take place leading up to a contract re-bidding.

Public response is one of several criteria being used by the City Accelerator to select cohort cities. The number of ratings or comments by themselves do not determine final status or selection.
