Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says a long-term agreement between the Baltimore Orioles and the Maryland Stadium Authority to extend a lease at Camden Yards is moving forward for a vote by state officials next week

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A long-term agreement between the Baltimore Orioles and the Maryland Stadium Authority to extend a lease at Camden Yards is moving forward for a vote by state officials next week, Gov. Wes Moore and the team have confirmed.

The agreement is slated to go before the Maryland Stadium Authority on Monday in Baltimore at the warehouse next to the ballpark. The state's Board of Public Works, a three-member board chaired by the governor, also is scheduled to meet there later that day.

In a statement, Moore said the agreement «embodies the three core principles I laid out at the beginning of this process: this is a long term deal that will keep baseball in Baltimore for all to enjoy, that puts all Maryland taxpayers at the top of mind, and that benefits the entire City of Baltimore.”

“I know for many this process has been long, and the team that worked on securing this deal has done so diligently with the best interests of the taxpayer in mind,” the governor, a Democrat, said. “The Orioles are a treasured part of the Baltimore community and I know I speak for all Marylanders when I say we are so excited to see the impact they will make on the City of Baltimore and across the state for years to come.”

The Orioles confirmed the agreement in a statement.

“We appreciate the hard work that has gone into bringing this agreement down to the finish line, and we're grateful to the Maryland Stadium Authority, the Governor's team, and, of course, everyone here at the Orioles organization,” the team said.
