Mission Statement
The New Greenmount West Community Association (NGWCA) organized a group of NGWCA members, residents, and other various stakeholders invested in the community to take a pragmatic look at the area and work cooperatively to describe the direction they wanted the community to go. The following Greenmount West Community Vision Statement represents what the community and stakeholders value about the neighborhood as well as what they would like to see improved and changed in the next five to twenty years and their commitment to seeing their vision realized. Our vision for Greenmount West is that our community continues to be welcoming to emerging and successful working people, professionals, as well as artists and artisans. We believe the neighborhood population will grow substantially and become a more diverse community, in both age and income, while maintaining our ethnic, racial, and lifestyle diversity. We also envision that Greenmount West will be an attractive low- to medium-density housing alternative situated next to the higher-density residential and entertainment development envisioned for Charles North, encouraging more family oriented and long-term residential households.
About This Cause
The following principles were developed by the New Greenmount West Community Association in order to guide and inform the planning process which resulted in this Master Plan. 1. Rebuild the economic health of the community by encouraging access to employment opportunities for local residents and maximize employment for local residents within the community. 2. Develop a diverse mix of retail, service, and office land-use throughout the neighborhood, particularly encouraging home-based businesses. 3. Maintain a balance of three complementary goals: a. Expand the proportion of middle-income families and residents throughout the neighborhood. b. Maintain and create affordable housing options for long-term residents. c. Encourage a range of income levels throughout the neighborhood. 4. Encourage the development of community-based arts, both its creation and presentation, and help low-income artists to secure affordable live/work space in the neighborhood. 5. Focus the educational and recreational resources that exist within the community to serve children in our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. 6. Develop passive and active green spaces that attract users throughout the neighborhood. 7. Seek to build the capacity and influence of neighborhood citizens and institutions in all new development. 8. Maintain the neighborhood‟s historic architectural fabric - residential, industrial, and commercial and to the extent possible, the industrial use of the existing industrial buildings. 9. Support homeownership through consultation, development programs, and financial support. 10.Provide residents with a variety of interconnected transportation options, including walking, bicycling, transit and vehicular choices.
