Tracy Ward was hired in April 2014 to make great things happen for Easton Economic Development Corp. The Board of Directors tasked her with launching project initiatives that support the organization’s goals, and she has quickly made progress on key projects that anchor the organization’s mission.
Tracy has over 27 years of experience as an economic and community development leader, devoting her career to urban transformation through collaborative public/private partnerships and cross-disciplinary strategies. Tracy has led major housing and neighborhood development initiatives throughout the Baltimore region. She was instrumental in the creation of over 1,000 housing units in downtown Baltimore, implemented the nation’s first combined residential and commercial special taxing district, helped hundreds of families transition to home-ownership, and has created community master plans that are still being used today.

During her tenure, Urbanite’s circulation tripled and annual revenues grew by double digits each year. In 2013, Tracy took a “sabbatical year” to travel and work on farms to learn about agriculture and the production of local food.
