- NEA Moving from Baltimore to Timonium, Citing Crime as Cause

Baltimore -- In an email sent to Mayor Dixon last week, venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates, said it is moving its offices out of Baltimore because of crime. NEA, originally based in Baltimore, has offices on St Paul Street near the Belvedere Hotel. While it's not clear to this publication why NEA even wrote this email, NEA said that the neighborhood will lose $200,000 annually in revenue. NEA says that over the last several years many of its employees cars have been broken into, some have been robbed at gun point, and employees have been menaced by homeless people.
