Read our latest Quarterly Report
We are excited to share our progress and report on our activity during the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 (January – March 2023).
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:
- Celebrated the adoption of the Reimagine Middle Branch Plan by Baltimore City’s Planning Commission in February 2023 after a multi-year effort led by a consortium of stakeholders from the public and private sectors, including community members and groups.
- Supported Parks & People in selecting a consulting team led by Site Insight to help establish a “Baltimore Black Sox” Memorial Park as part of the Middle Branch Waterfront African American Historic Trail.
- Continued implementing its $1.2 million trash cleanup and sanitation initiative as well as Enhanced Services for improvements to and the activation of parks, recreation centers, and public spaces across the District. Design work is underway for the renovation and reopening of the Carroll Park Recreation Center as well as for major enhancements to Solo Gibbs Park and Florence Cummins Park, and SBGP selected and engaged EnviroCollab to help lead the community engagement process to reimagine Conway Street Park.
- Kicked off the 11th cycle of Community Grant applications, and held Community Grant Support Sessions as well as the free professional development workshop series, “Keys to Capacity.”
- Hired a new Enhanced Services Manager to help manage increased funding and a growing project portfolio, and posted for and hired a Community Development Manager to work on housing and investment issues.
