ENVIRONMENT 

What We’re Working On:

  • Underway: (in partnership with the Baltimore Dept of Planning and the Civic Works program, Clean Corps) beautifying and activating a number of vacant lots in the community, a program we’re calling “A Lot Matters”

  • Finished an Environment / Green Plan / Tree Plan Section of the Community-Approved Master Plan

  • Working to expand those Master Plan ideas into a larger, community-directed Environment & Green Infrastructure Module

  • Gathered EPA funds to help the community complete that plan expansion & address large polluter issues

  • Community Environment Committee has been working for more than six months

  • Committee and public meetings took place spring and summer 2026

  • Physical survey completed in October 2026

  • Expected plan completion is mid-November 2026

  • Currently seeking a letter of support from the Baltimore City Department of Recreation & Parks to allow the community to apply for grant funds to beautify and activate what are now largely vacant and blighted Rec & Parks properties in Midtown-Edmondson

See the Environment Section of the Master Plan below. (These are some of the ideas that will be expanded upon this spring.)
