2019-2022 Goals
During its second phase, HopkinsLocal set specific goals for construction project commitments, hiring, purchasing, and investing by FY 22. These included:
- Filling, by FY2022, 50 percent of targeted positions by hiring from within the city’s most distressed communities
- Increasing by at least $25 million over three years the amount of goods and services the university and health system purchase from Baltimore-based businesses
- Maintain 24 suppliers from outside the area and holding them accountable to hire, procure, and invest locally
- Hiring an independent investment management firm with a Baltimore office. That firm will manage a multi-million dollar investment that is part of the university’s endowment.
