Green Network Plan to be Presented to Planning Commission on 9/27

Baltimore’s Department of Planning is proud to release a new vision plan for our City – the Baltimore Green Network plan is an ambitious effort to bring new green spaces to Baltimore neighborhoods, particularly those hit hardest by vacancy and disinvestment. The plan sets a framework for an interconnected system of natural and recreational spaces throughout Baltimore City – including landscaped plazas, parks, urban gardens and forests.

The release of the Baltimore Green Network plan is a culmination of more than two years of planning in partnership with residents and community based organizations, including dozens of meetings and the feedback of hundreds of individuals. The Department of Planning is grateful for the many community residents who contributed their feedback, ideas, and energy to shape the plan.

A copy of the plan document may be found on the Department of Planning website at https://planning.baltimorecity.gov/green-network-plan.

The Baltimore Green Network plan will be presented to the Planning Commission for adoption on September 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm in the Stanton Board Room, located at 417 East Fayette Street, 8th Floor.  The hearing will be viewable through live-streaming at that time using this link.
