We are excited to share our progress and report on our activity during the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 (October – December 2022).
Continuing with another strong quarter, SBGP is proud and grateful for the ability to consistently continue to serve the community. While upholding core values and high standards of practices, SBGP has worked closely with neighborhood leaders, City agencies, and other partners to channel funds into important and necessary community programs and projects within the District.
This quarter, SBGP:
- Hosted a press conference announcing $47.7 million to build wetlands around the Middle Branch as part of the Middle Branch Resiliency Initiative (MBRI) with Federal, State, and Local elected officials and partners.
- Approved $3.5 million of a Community Development Fund over three fiscal years to address vacancy, preserve affordability, support legacy homeowners, and attract investment that furthers neighborhood plans and aspirations.
- Participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony and community celebration hosted by BCRP for the opening of the Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center at Cherry Hill.
- Co-hosted a public input session with BCRP for the Carroll Park Recreation Center renovation project with roughly 40 community members in attendance and over 90 surveys filled out.
- Selected My Father’s Plan and Living Classrooms to provide services that will enhance the regular services provided by BCRP and DPW to ensure a high standard of cleanliness beyond their regular schedule.
- Supported the inaugural EmancipationFest: A Maryland Emancipation Day Celebration presented by the Baltimore Mount Clare at Carroll Park Commission in partnership with the National Center for the Improvisational Arts (NCIA). This community event celebrated November 1, 1864, when the state of Maryland emancipated all enslaved persons within state boundaries.
