===Present=== In 2002, the opening of the 400-room [[Hyatt|Hyatt Regency]] Chesapeake Bay resort provided a significant boost to the city's economy through job creation and tourism. The resort features a [[golf course]], [[spa]], and [[marina]], and has hosted numerous high-profile events, including the 2007 U.S. [[House Republican Conference]], featuring an address by U.S. President [[George W. Bush]], as well as subsequent visits by U.S. President [[Barack Obama]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2007/01/20070126-3.html|title=President Bush Speaks to the House Republican Conference|website=georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov}}</ref> Cambridge was designated a Maryland [[Main Street]] community on July 1, 2003. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development established Cambridge Main Street as a comprehensive downtown revitalization process with plans to enhance the economic potential of select cities across the state. This initiative has led to the improvement of [[heritage tourism]] attractions and, along with other cities on the Eastern Shore, has contributed to attracting more tourists to Cambridge. As a result, the downtown business district of Cambridge, part of which was declared a [[Historic districts in the United States|historic district]] in 1990, has undergone revitalization.<ref name="MDHistTrustD-699">{{cite web | url=http://mht.maryland.gov/NR/NRDBDetail.aspx?HDID=1068 | title=Cambridge Historic District, Wards I & III | access-date=2008-01-21 | work=Maryland's National Register Database | publisher=[[Maryland Historical Trust]] | quote=Wards I and III of the Cambridge Historic District are a large residential, commercial, and governmental area in the northwest section of the city. }}</ref> Four different teams in the old [[Eastern Shore Baseball League]]{{emdash}}the Canners, Cardinals, Clippers, and Dodgers{{emdash}}were located in Cambridge.
