We Work to Revitalize Dundalk Everyday
Who We are
We’re a non-profit community development organization dedicated to Dundalk’s revival by building on our community’s strengths.
Dundalk has 43 miles of gorgeous waterfront. Affordable homes for families of all sizes. A walkable National Register Historic District. Close proximity to night life and sporting events. Access to major highways and employment opportunities inside the city and out.
We work to grow new businesses at The Forge and strengthen the Historic Dundalk Town Center commercial area by influencing investment decisions made by business, developers, government, and individuals like you!
Our Values
We embrace diversity and inclusiveness of all kinds. Our diversity strengthens Dundalk as a community.
Our community is strongest when its residents and businesses invest time and resources as volunteers and stakeholders in the community’s future. We advocate for the implementation of policies, programs, and projects that benefit Dundalk.
Dundalk has a rich historical legacy as a place and a people, including our walkable National Register Historic District, our role defending the nation in the War of 1812 and our demonstration of the dignity in hard work through a century of industry.
Dundalk Renaissance welcomes innovation and investment that strengthens Dundalk’s economic health and quality of life.
Communities thrive when individuals care deeply about their neighbors, take responsibility for themselves, and support each other in times of need and celebration as well as in resolving everyday challenges.
Dundalk should offer all its residents a chance to succeed through access to jobs and job training; safe, stable neighborhoods; a quality education; a clean and healthy environment; and home ownership that builds wealth.
Creating a cleaner, greener, walkable, bikeable Dundalk benefits residents, neighborhoods, and the environment.
While each neighborhood has a special identity and history, together they form a cohesive Dundalk community that is strongest when working together.
