Worthy Public Servant Congressman Cummings Watershed 246

  The Harris Creek Watershed Project,having recently completed it's Strormwater Plan,is very anxoius to get started. One of the recommendations is to Promote Urban Farming efforts in the Communities of the Watershed. We are gifted to have Real Food Farm as part of the Watershed in Clifton Park.   Baltimore Hoop Village involved in Sustainable Agriculture is a Project of Civic Works and has as its Mission"to work toward a just and sustainable food systemby improving neighborhood access to Healthy Food,providing experience-based Education,and developing an economically viable,environmentally responsible local agriculture sector".

  The Goal of Real Food Farm is to be a catalyst for the Creation of a Vibrant Local Agriculture Sector through provision of Skills,Training,Creation of Jobs,and Demonstration of a Relicable and Sustainable Business Model. The Harris Creek Watershed will work to take advantage of this golden opportunity.  We had a chance this week to present this Watershed Plan to Congressman Cummings and were very appreciative of his comments as well as from his Staff.   Hope Williams is his new laison person on this issue. We were delighted to see this in view of her past role of being the person in charge of the Cleaner,Greener Program of Baltimore City. It was through her Leadership that the Harris Creek Watershed Project was able to do so much.

   We are grateful to Congressman Cummings for always being there for the right causes and his passion in getting proper things done. It is great to see a Public Official so dedicated and compassionate with the People and Concerns in his District. We are Blessed to have him
