Main Street District
The “core” of Brunswick is centered on Potomac Street. The majority of buildings along the commercial corridor of Potomac Street are more than 100 years old and are typically the properties that are most in need of Main Street expertise and revitalization tools. Properties located in the Main Street district will qualify for local, state and National Main Street benefits. Many of the buildings in this zone are also in Brunswick’s Historic District. Per the National Register of Historic Places (map), the Brunswick Historic District is roughly bounded by the Potomac River, Central Avenue, Park Avenue, and 10th Avenue.

Designations
Sustainable Community
Brunswick, Maryland is a designated Sustainable Community. This program was established in 2010 to promote efficient use of scarce State resources based on local sustainability and revitalization strategies.
It provides:
- Resources for historic preservation
- Housing
- Economic development under a single designation.
The designation places special emphasis on infrastructure improvements, multimodal transportation, and development that strengthens existing communities.
Opportunity Zone
The EZ program provides real property and state income tax credits for businesses located in a Maryland enterprise zone in return for job creation and investments. Businesses located in Focus Areas may also be qualified for personal property tax credits on new investment in personal property and enhanced income tax credit for creating new jobs. Not every business located in an enterprise zone is eligible to receive tax credit. In order to claim the credit, the business must be certified by the local enterprise zone administrator as eligible for the credit.
The City of Brunswick’s EZ Coordinator is Bruce Dell (planner@brunswickmd.gov or (301) 834-7500 ext. 300).
