CBP'S 2012 HCPI ACTION PLAN IS STILL THE BEDROCK OF CBP'S WORK AND WAS A MODEL OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION, INVOLVING OVER 200 PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MEETINGS. THIS PLAN DEMONSTRATED CBP'S ABILITY TO JOIN STAKEHOLDERS FROM 10 NEIGHBORHOODS TO PLAN AND EXECUTE A BOLD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY. SINCE THEN CBP HAS HONED THIS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH AND OUR WORK IS GUIDED NOW BY OVER 20 TASK FORCES AND WORK GROUPS INVOLVING RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, PUBLIC AGENCY AND INSTITUTION REPRESENTATIVES.

EVERY WEEK INVOLVES INQUIRIES FROM GROUPS WHO WANT TO EMULATE OUR WORK AND TIME SPENT COACHING OTHERS IN CBP'S APPROACH. CBP has convened a number of community planning initiatives, then worked with stakeholders to build their implementation capacity. Recently, these include the development of a North Avenue Commercial Revitalization strategy, and early reinvestment priority setting in midway, which has resulted in a spectacular community park and the expansion of the compound, an extraordinary arts co-op. We have expanded programmingof the Station North Arts District, small business ongoing rehabilitation along Greenmount and north avenues we have acquired and are leading the redevelopment of the North Avenue Market and key arts hub, AREA 405. CBP'S CURRENT REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY IS AMBITIOUS AND REFLECTS OUR CAPACITY AND THE CONFIDENCE KEY STAKEHOLDERS HAVE IN OUR ORGANIZATION. THESE PROJECTS INCLUDE LEADING COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PENN STATION AND THE SURROUNDING PUBLIC REALM, EXPANDING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH ST. AMBROSE HOUSING AID CENTER AND JUBILEE BALTIMORE TO ASSIST 80+ LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS TO REPAIR THEIR HOMES EACH YEAR.
