“They’re really excited about the exhibits and about all the teaching moments that it offers.”

Preservation Magazine recently released its summer issue, which includes an article highlighting the restoration of the Old Treasury Building in Annapolis. DGS Architect and Senior Project Manager Mark Schneidman spoke with the magazine about the restoration, sharing insight into the project and the building’s history.

Built in 1737, the Old Treasury Building is Maryland’s oldest public building. After decades closed to the public, it reopened earlier this year following a full restoration of the site—now visitors can step inside, explore the restored building and learn more about its place in Maryland’s history!

We can reduce costs for Maryland taxpayers while also continuing to reach our clean energy goals.

This new 20-year agreement with REV Renewables will provide about 250,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy from the Jade Meadow III Solar Project in Western Maryland – keeping energy local, sustainable, and affordable for all of Maryland.

A former coal mine in Western Maryland is being transformed into a source of clean, Maryland-generated energy!

The Maryland Board of Public Works recently approved a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement for the Jade Meadow III Solar Project in Garrett County. The agreement, developed by our Office of Design, Construction, and Energy, is expected to save Maryland approximately $300 million over the next 20 years while providing enough renewable electricity to power nearly 15% of the State’s energy portfolio beginning in 2028.

“This agreement is a major win for Maryland, ensuring our state has access to reliable, clean sources of energy, progressing our clean energy goals, and advancing towards a more sustainable future,” said Governor Wes Moore.

Secretary Chaudhry traveled to Maryland’s Eastern Shore to visit For All Seasons Behavioral Health and RCC, an organization providing mental health and victim services to children, adults, and families throughout the region and beyond.

During the visit, our team toured the facility and met with staff to learn more about the work they do and the people they serve. We also saw firsthand how capital grant funding administered through DGS supported renovations and expanded the organization’s capabilities, creating a modernized and welcoming environment for those who rely on their services.

When we invest in spaces like this, we’re doing more than improving buildings—we’re strengthening the services and resources that make a difference for Marylanders every day.
