Fallston Group CEO Rob Weinhold appeared on Fox45 Morning News this week to discuss one of Baltimore’s most iconic—and closely watched—events: the 150th running of Preakness Stakes.
With international attention on Baltimore City and the State of Maryland, Rob highlighted the significant economic development impact of high-profile events like the Preakness, stressing how they offer more than just a celebration. These events are powerful opportunities to infuse resources into the local economy, boosting tourism, creating jobs, and elevating Baltimore’s reputation on the national stage. Baltimore is in the news for all of the right reasons this week.
“As Baltimore welcomes national eyes, it’s not just about the race—it’s about driving economic impact, managing public perception, and presenting the city as a leader in tourism and development,” Rob explained during the interview. “The Preakness provides an invaluable moment to harness resources and ensure the city’s legacy as a prime destination for investment and growth.”
Rob also emphasized that these events test more than just the athletes involved; they challenge brands, public officials, and event organizers to deliver a unified message with clarity, confidence, and credibility. This is where Fallston Group excels.
