(ANNAPOLIS – January 21, 2023) — Governor Wes Moore announced the release of $69 million in previously-withheld funding in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget on Thursday. These funds were authorized by the legislature last year, and Governor Moore is proudly standing with the legislature by directing these investments toward critical programs and services throughout the state.

“The investments impact every community in Maryland,” said Governor Moore. “This action shows a fundamental shift in how the administration approaches the budget and our relationship with the General Assembly as we boldly act on critical issues facing Marylanders everywhere like climate change, paid family and medical leave, cannabis reform, and abortion care.”

$9 million to support Climate Solutions Now Act 

  • $3.8 million in start-up funding for a new Climate Catalytic Capital Fund administered by the Maryland Clean Energy Center. This fund is a green bank, an institution that uses its funds to leverage private and philanthropic investments in projects intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • $3.8 million for the installation of renewable energy generating equipment in multi-family housing that houses low- to moderate-income people. These funds will be administered through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.
  • $1.1 million for the Chesapeake Conservation Corps, intended to support climate mitigation and clean energy projects. The corps is a paid service year program administered by the Chesapeake Bay Trust that matches young people with government or non-profit organizations to work on projects relevant to environmental preservation and climate mitigation.
  • $375,000 for the Maryland Healthy Soils Program in the Department of Agriculture. This program provides grants and technical support to farmers who are implementing new technologies and management practices to improve soil health.

$10 million to support paid family and medical leave 

The funding will be administered to the Maryland Department of Labor to pay for the early start-up costs of implementing a paid family and medical leave program in Maryland.

When I was just 22 years old, I moved to Maryland to start a new job as a co-anchor on WJZ-TV. And as I walked around the city of Baltimore that first week, I saw the strangest thing: my face on billboards advertising the 6 o’clock news with Jerry Turner, and a question, “What is an Oprah?” And honestly, I didn’t really know the answer myself. When I moved to Maryland, I had no idea who I was. But I will tell you something: Maryland is where I found myself.

Maryland is something special. A place where so many others have done, and will do, what I did: Plant the seeds of their wildest dreams, and watch them grow into reality. Maryland is full to the brim with opportunity. That was as true back then as it is now. And I know that, with Wes Moore as your governor, Maryland’s best days lie ahead. Wes has been a public servant his whole adult life—and he's just getting started. Today, it was an honor to introduce Wes Moore, a man I believe in and a man I respect, at his inauguration for Maryland's new governor. Thank you for having me with your wife, Dawn, and children, Mia and James.
