May Community Meeting
Our next community meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7th, starting a 7 pm at the Caribbean Dynasty, 647 West Pratt St. The Ridgely’s Delight Association represents the entire neighborhood, and everyone is welcome!
Community members will vote on which neighborhood project(s) to fund with the $10,000 awarded from Councilwoman Phylicia Porter’s office. Proposed projects were presented at earlier meetings, and details of each will be available again at the upcoming meeting before the vote.
