COMMUNITY CONTEXT
The Edmondson Community Organization is located in the geographic center of West Baltimore, at the heart of West Baltimore’s transportation networks. The planned ECO community campus and new-construction community center is just one block from the MARC Station facility - the site of potentially massive TOD investment.
A Redlined and historically disinvested part of the city, the ECO focus area is now the locus of Central West Baltimore’s dramatic planned transportation and infrastructure-driven comeback.
Community unity has always been a strongpoint of this area of Baltimore, with the most recent example being the tremendous coalition formed to catalyze and guide a total reimagine of the Route 40 “Highway to Nowhere” corridor - the central spine of West Baltimore.
