 Vacant
Lot Cleanup -
Many vacant lots in the Inner-Harbor Lock Replacement Impact
area are not being maintained by their owners. The CBMC has
designed a program that will help residents of the impact area
maintain vacant lots in their neighborhoods by offering a free
one-time lot cleanup to any neighboring property owner who
is willing to sign a letter of commitment to continue the upkeep
of the lot. More> |

Skills Enhancement Job-Training Program was successfully implemented
in FY 2003 with the third and fourth classes receiving training
in FY 2004. To date, 42 residents have been trained and 16 residents
are currently enrolled in the training program. More> |
