Yeah that’s not how it works. Blue Water Baltimore is a non-profit that does a great deal to advocate for improved water ecosystems. They are not the designated/official ombudsman charged with addressing all city sewage shortcomings. They do also receive occasional grants from state and federal sources (like this one for $92K to improve a specific runoff issue). Whoever said “Blue Water Baltimore gets paid to take care of this” was misinformed.

Blue Water Baltimore’s annual budget is under $3M, of which only around $500K came from state or federal sources; DPW’s water-related budget is around $400M, which includes over $100M just for storm water and another $100M+ for waste water management.

BWB has incidentally pushed forward/supported multiple lawsuits against various entities, including the city itself..

Talk to one of the specialty boutique plant stores and see if they’ll work with you to find a buyer, and negotiate commission. Something like B. Willow maybe in Remington. I’m not suggesting them specifically, it’s just the only one that comes to mind that I know by name.

IMO, I don’t think you’re gonna get anything near the price that you are hoping for. I’m pretty sure half of the price of a plant like that involves shipping. I could be wrong, and hopefully so.
