State Buildings
As the State work force has expanded to meet the demand
for new and improved services by a growing population,
there has been created a corresponding need for additional
office space. In Annapolis, a new State Office Building was
dedicated in 1958 and a new State Income Tax Building
in 1967. Recently, a comprehensive plan designed to meet
the future space needs of the State and enhance the general
appearance of the areas where the buildings will be located
has been prepared.
A new Court of Appeals Building and a building which
will house the Department of Natural Resources are in the
final planning stage. The present Treasury Building will be
converted to a Senate Office Building and a new building
erected for the House of Delegates. Also planned is a
structure housing the ancillary agencies of the Legislature,

City. Future planning calls for an innovative State govern-

also be "an integral part of the community in which it
stands" and have "life after working hours because it con-
tains facilities for shopping and amusement within its
boundaries, so that it will attract activities in the evening."
Construction has already begun on a building that will
include a three-level parking area and a total of 350,000
square feet of office space.
The Department of Motor Vehicles which was formerly
located in Baltimore moved into a newly-constructed Head-
quarters Building near Glen Bumie in 1962.
History and Culture
Apart from the State buildings, the past decade has wit-
nessed remarkable changes in the face of Baltimore. Charles
Center, a 32-acre urban renewal project, has revitalized the
heart of the business district, artistically as well as eco-
