Next District-Wide Community Meeting - Council President Young and SNAP updates!

The York Road Partnership (YRP) has requested an update by the various involved City agencies on the progress towards meeting the stated goals in the Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) published in 2006. The update will take the form of brief presentations by the respective agency heads as to what each respective department has accomplished regarding each stated goal in the seven sections of the SNAP, while also sharing whether any new goals have been developed during the implementation process.

These presentations will be made at my upcoming district-wide community meeting, which is being combined with YRP's regular monthly meeting:

Wednesday, November 3rd

Walter P. Carter Recreation Center

820 E. 43rd St. (@ St. Georges Ave.)

6:30pm to 8:30pm

The meeting will begin at 6:30pm, with City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young leading off as our guest speaker, followed by a brief SNAP "background" presentation by the YRP, and then the agency reports beginning around 7pm.  Pizza and beverages will be available starting at 6:15pm.

The YRP will be collecting specific concerns from community members through their SNAP update committee focus groups; these concerns will be circulated to the agencies in advance, so that relevant concerns may be addressed by the appropriate department representatives. This will take the place of a more conventional "Q&A" session after the presentations.

As always, please call Leslie Wietscher at 410-396-4830 or email Leslie.Wietscher@BaltimoreCity.gov if you have any questions about the event or to confirm your attendance. If you would like to submit concerns or questions regarding the SNAP, please contact Zach Chissell at ZChissell@greaterhomewood.org. Thank you for your continued commitment to your community and the city of Baltimore and I look forward to seeing you on November 3rd!
