Per the news release distributed on Governor Wes Moore today announced hundreds of millions of dollars in projected long-term taxpayer savings under the Moore-Miller Administration’s government modernization initiative. The initiative, which will save Maryland taxpayers up to $50 million in FY26 alone, is expected to save $250 million across procurement, IT, and vehicle fleet management over the next five years, in addition to more than $326 million in real estate savings over the next 20-25 years.

“While the federal government recklessly slashes budgets and lays off public servants, we are using data to save taxpayers money and modernize government in a targeted way,” said Gov. Moore. “This announcement is only the beginning of our efforts. Together, we will continue to prioritize fiscal discipline and ensure we deliver essential services to all Marylanders, efficiently and effectively.”
