Makers can now label their wares ‘Made in Baltimore’

Next City has a story this week on a new effort that allows local makers to proudly identify their wares as “Made in Baltimore.”

“We see big companies shedding jobs but see a lot of people starting up their own in light manufacturing,” Andy Cook of the Baltimore Office of Sustainability told Next City.
