Community Development in Action
On any given day, CHAI can be found around northwest Baltimore and Pikesville, bringing people together, supporting local initiatives, and helping turn community ideas into action. One day this fall offered a telling example. At the Druid Hill Farmers Market, our Community Engagement Manager promoted One Park Heights and the Northwest Baltimore Partnership by staffing a table at the event, connecting residents with neighborhood initiatives and upcoming programs. That same day, our Assistant Vice President of Community Development was supporting the first open Pimlico Community Advisory Board (PCAB) meeting and webinar, where more than 30 community members joined board members to hear updates about the Pimlico redevelopment project. In Pikesville, CHAI’s Project Manager for the Pikesville Downtown Partnership was facilitating a community feedback workshop at The Armory, where residents shared ideas directly with Baltimore arts studio Red Swan as plans moved forward for a new mural at the Alley Shops. Together, these moments illustrate the way our team is out in the neighborhood everyday working alongside residents and stakeholders to build a strong community.
