The Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative (BRNI) is a State program that aims to demonstrate how strategic investment in local housing and businesses can lead to healthy, sustainable communities with a growing tax base and enhanced quality-of-life. BRNI funds residential and commercial projects, such as strategic property acquisition, redevelopment, rehabilitation and new infill development. This grant matched a state Technical Assistance Grant to fund an organizer to work with partners in South Baltimore and northern Anne Arundel County to create an overlay plan for the City neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay, and Brooklyn Park in Anne Arundel County. Such a plan will allow these communities to apply for funding from BRNI in June 2016.
