  Baltimore is among the least expensive major cities for business,

 KPMG LLP study says...Charm City was ranked fourth on the list of most cost-competitive cities with a cost index of 97.1, meaning Baltimore had business costs about 3 percent below the U.S. average. KPMG said Baltimore's ranking was driven by low property tax and sales tax costs. The KPMG Competitive Alternatives study allows companies to perform a quick scan of jurisdictions to determine which can offer a cost-competitive business environment, the release said. It measured 26 significant cost components including labor, taxes, real estate and utilities, as they apply to 17 industries, over a 10-year planning period, as well as data on a variety of non-cost-competitive factors.
