Overview
Reimagine Middle Branch is a community-driven initiative to reconnect South Baltimore with a system of world-class parks, trails, programs, and economic development plans along the 11-mile shoreline of the Middle Branch shoreline of the Patapsco River. By holistically addressing issues of environment, health, and equity, Reimagine Middle Branch strives to realize more than Baltimore’s next great waterfront. This initiative is fundamentally about equity and justice, resilience, and health—a transformation of place supported by new connections, jobs, wealth-generation, and quality of life amenities that extend beyond the built environment.

The action steps here build on a foundation of success and early wins by increasing the capacity of local leadership to manage further transformations and plan strategically for the “how, where, and when” of new investments.
