COMMUNITY NEWS $7M FOR RANDALLSTOWN PARKS AND REC FACILITY

This week, I had the honor of announcing that $7M in state and local funds will be allocated toward the development of a first-rate parks and recreation center in Randallstown alongside Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski. This world class facility will provide Baltimore County residents with the needed green space to enjoy outdoor recreation.

LIBERTY ROAD CLEAN-UP

Please join me at my Liberty Road Clean-Up on Saturday, May 8 from 8AM to 11AM. The Clean-Up will take place along Liberty Road between Rolling Road and the I-695 Beltway. Face masks are required as we continue to try and reduce the risk of COVID-19. Students may also receive community service hours as a part of the clean-up. If you are interested, please contact Essence Cropper at 410-655-3090 or Essence.Cropper@mlis.state.md.us.

$10M FOR BALTIMORE COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION I believe creating and forming a strong community will always be a vital aspect of society. I want to ensure that my community is taken care of like those did before me. With the House passing the capital budget, we were able to allocate $10M to Baltimore County Parks and Recreations. This funding will help preserve Baltimore County parks and playgrounds and help foster growing community connections.

DISTRICT 10 SCHOLARSHIP

The District 10 Legislative Scholarship is currently available to students living in District 10. Eligible high school, undergraduate and graduate students can receive at least $200 to use to help further their education.

Applications need to be returned by mail only. For questions about the scholarship or application process, email Essence.Cropper@mlis.state.md.us. Download the application HERE.
