Andy Frank first joined Baltimore City government in 1996 as an Economic Development Director for the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC). He went on to serve as BDC’s executive vice president until he was tapped by former Mayor Sheila Dixon to lead her administration’s economic development strategy. In 2010, Frank left Baltimore City government to become the Special Advisor to President Ron Daniels on economic development at Johns Hopkins University.
Some of Frank’s past projects include East Baltimore Development, Inc. (EBDI), where he leveraged JHU’s assets to develop Eager Park and the area around Hopkins’ medical campus; implemented the Homewood Community Partners Initiative (HCPI), a comprehensive revitalization strategy for Central Baltimore; and the Central Baltimore Future Fund (CBFF), which he helped found and raise $17 million to make real estate loans to buy blighted property for redevelopment.
Frank is a graduate of Rutgers University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He joined the Comptroller's Office in February 2021.
