Why Baltimore Has Lost Trade to the Eastern Shore
Baltimore has ceded one billion dollars of trade to the Eastern Shore over ten years. The shift stems from rapid growth of Shore businesses that source directly from manufacturers, plus rail routes via Pennsylvania lines offering shorter hauls. Perishable produce markets also favor northern cities, while proposed ferry links threaten Peninsula connectivity and local economies.
