Fairfield contains a total area of approximately 1,300 acres within the City’s Empowerment Zone. Sixty businesses are located there, employing a work force of 1,800. The central area of Fairfield, targeted by BDC for initial redevelopment, is approximately 400 acres, bounded on the north by the Harbor Tunnel Thruway, on the west by Shell Road, Chesapeake Avenue and Child Street, by the southern property lines of the Conoco, Sunoco and Chevron parcels, and on the east by the Patapsco River. Available land includes both City and privately-owned underutilized or vacant properties. The approximately 92 developable acres could produce 1.6 million square feet of industrial space with over 1,600 jobs. The entire 1,300 acres is zoned M-3 with deep water port access, extensive CSX rail service and easy access to interstate highways. In addition, approximately $15 million in public infrastructure including street improvements are planned for Fairfield over the next five years.

This effort is led by the Industrial Development Team. For more information please contact Larisa Salamacha, Director of Industrial Development.
