2023 Community Needs Assessment
This assessment was conducted for the Greater Remington Improvement Association (GRIA) and funded through a
community development block grant (CDBG) from the Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community
Development with additional funding from the Goldseker Foundation.
Research commenced in early 2020 with timeline adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To assess the
community’s strengths and challenges, a combination of quantitative and qualitative data was gathered. Formal and
informal interviews with residents and stakeholders were conducted. Notes were taken during public and internal GRIA
meetings, as well as meetings with community partners and advocacy groups. Public records from city, state, and federal
data portals, as well as records of constituent service requests through email, social media, and 311, were also utilized.
Remington Neighborhood Plan
The Remington Neighborhood Plan (the Plan) is a collaborative effort by residents, business owners, community associations and interested partners to guide the neighborhood’s physical development in the 21st century. The Plan’s overarching goal is to ensure that physical, social and environmental development is consistent with the vision of those living and working in the Remington community. Through its goals, policies and maps, this plan will create a framework through which changes to the neighborhood and its land use may occur for the benefit of current and future Remington community members.
