If a local jurisdiction is applying in partnership with a development partner, developers must be in Good Standing with the State of Maryland (if applicable). Candidates for loans must demonstrate the ability to repay.

Local jurisdictions:

  • Design plans
  • Public infrastructure improvements

Development partners, with local jurisdiction as a co-applicant:

  • Gap funding for development within an eligible TOD
    • Local jurisdictions applying for a grant must commit a 10% match.
