Chefs will showcase a variety of cooking classes for community residents and visitors. Families and individuals will learn how to prepare healthy foods inexpensively. While Hollins Hall will offer a sophisticated space for meetings and special events. A renovated underutilized 26,520 sq.ft. public market using LEED sustainable strategies, historic essentials, and twenty-one newly renovated affordable townhomes together will become a shining star in the Southwest Baltimore community. The outcome is a financially feasible project that addresses the community, the environment, and creates a cherished urban space that will serve generations to come.
