SCNA Festival with The Gathering

Festival with The Gathering

What a wonderful event! The SCNA and Mount Royal CDC cannot thank The Gathering enough for believing in our cause and for showcasing what a rich and vibrant place West Baltimore can be!  State Center Redevelopment will bring jobs and access to jobs, affordable housing and it will end the food desert through its transit-orientated development and a focus on community – all the communities.  Close to 1,000 people turned out to this event – excited about the possibilities of the future!

State Center Redevelopment will create a livable walkable community in Baltimore West.  This redevelopment will not only bring new jobs, and a grocery store, but it will also become a city-wide destination, with retail, office, and residential, linking the surrounding 9 communities together.

This SCNA is teaming with The Gathering to throw an amazing festival at the State Center site itself.  Get ready for food trucks, music and fun – Come join us to see what a wonderful, vibrant place State Center can be!
