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 Master Plan
Working to expand those Master Plan ideas into a larger, community-directed Environment/Green Plan/Tree Plan “module”
Gathered EPA funds to help the community complete that expansion this spring
Community Environment Committee is being finalized now
Committee and public meetings to take place January through April
Expected plan completion is mid-April
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
