Our History
The Baltimore Downtown Restoration Committee (BDRC) was founded in 2007 as a volunteer organization dedicated to making Baltimore’s unique dual downtown areas more appealing places to live, shop, dine, work, or visit. Inspired by the Main Street organization model, the group has undertaken many different projects and programs as both the community and the organization have changed over time. The BDRC is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and our mission is to work with village leaders and citizens to enhance Baltimore’s downtowns and overall village vitality.
Tiered Donations
The BDRC is a non-profit organization, independent of Village government; therefore, we receive no tax dollars or outside funding. The bulk of our operating funds come from memberships, donations, grants, and fundraisers. Your donation is vital to the success of our mission to preserve, promote and enhance the village’s historic dual downtown areas and to ensure these historic areas support our small-town quality of life and village pride.
Sponsorship
The BDRC holds many programs and events throughout the year, and business establishments or individuals are invited to help sponsor any and all of these events. The current sponsorship opportunities include the “Theater Patron” and the “Friend of the Victoria” tiers. Sponsors will be included on our donor wall for any amount of sponsorship totaling $500 or more.
Renting the VOH
Be the envy of your friends and family. The Victoria Opera House, at 101 S. Main St., is now available for hourly, daily or weekly rentals. The VOH has recently been rented for birthday, graduation and retirement parties. It has been host to concerts, theater productions, holiday activities, square dances, fundraisers, heritage tours, State of the Village and town hall meetings. Wedding packages are also available. See our website for more information on renting this amazing space.
Get Involved
Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month (Jan.-Nov.) at the Victoria Opera House at 7pm. The meetings are open to the public, and we are always looking for new volunteers interested in helping with programs or holding a seat on the board.
