Center Rail Strategies is a Maryland based thinking firm dedicated to the development of ideas to solve some of todays biggest challenges. Human capital development is a key component to any sustainable solution because of its direct impact on the income potential that drives all other life factors.
At Center Rail Strategies, we believe the challenges faced by lower socioeconomic communities are complex and require a holistic approach that more efficiently utilizes existing programs and funds to solve them. As such, we exist to develop, articulate, and implement solutions that span the gaps between services and opportunities so to provide short term investment for life long sustainable impact on individuals, communities, and industries. When people are taught skills, reduced barriers, and increased opportunities, they invest back in the community, pay taxes, and contribute to society. When employers have a solid workforce, they produce more, with lower cost, and increased capacity, they too pay more taxes, provide more jobs, and give more to society. It starts with the power of the center rail and the connectivity between all facets.
Center Rail offers collaborative services to aid governments, communities, and organizations in the further development and implementation of any or all of the components in the solutions they develop.
Below, you can read about our plans and strategies.
It is a work in progress but we hope to secure the support we need for a pilot program in 2020.
Your help is welcome and support appreciated!

The Corn Maze is a visual model for the world one is born into. To illustrate the realities of lower socioeconomic communities, one can imagine this particular corn maze exists in a challenging and defeating environment in which the multi-generational, underserved, unemployed, and underemployed community lives. The corn maze has its own culture, societal rules, linguistics, and expectations that prevent individuals from entering the working world with equal skills, support, education, and guidance. The only thing rich in this corn maze is its history of rejection and inequality and its only sign of abundance is despair and disappointment.
As with all corn mazes, the exits are limited and, by design, difficult to find. Few leave their established surroundings but those who attempt it cannot do so successfully without guidance, role models, assistance, and a bit of grace.
Perhaps more influential to the trajectory of one’s life is the reception experienced upon exiting. With each failed attempt, a retreat further into their familiar corn maze is inevitable and future attempts unlikely. Conversely, when at the exit one is met with open arms, mentors and coaches to guide, abundant opportunities for education and personal growth, and clearly identified paths, dedication exudes and a desire to spread the joys of ones experiences influences others to explore adventures outside the maze. This is the CornMaze Effect.
Blocks of Blight is a program that helps to fill the O – On-The Job Training requirement as an extension to an existing training program or as part of other community support services. The program marries neighborhoods in need with program graduates seeking a training ground and provides the construction industry a structure in which to influence and develop strong skills required to fill long term positions.
In all the conversations around sustainable housing, seldom do you also hear the word affordable. And why is that?
For the population most directly impacted by the rising costs and impacts of energy, wouldn't it make sense that they be the focus.
Natalie Petrini explores the topic for us.
A free and transparent election is arguably the most significant component of our democracy and separates the U.S. from dictatorships and corrupt governments around the world. With the added complexities of Covid-19, major news outlets report, in-person voting has become more restrictive and worrisome for many Americans seeking a way to preserve their safety while not sacrificing their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote.
Implementing a system that addresses the perceived challenges for high volume mail-in ballots, reducing the current concerns of invalidating the 2020 election with proof and accountability, would provide a valid voter option and strengthen voter confidence for citizens of America and the world.
