The CCA has launched an exciting project to renovate the center of "The Square" at O'Donnell Square Park. We're calling it Project ODSP. The vision, featuring a new multi-use covered structure, is to create a welcoming space for inclusive, community-centered events that are fun, educational, and respectful of the neighborhood vibe. 

To ensure this beloved public space reflects the needs and spirit of our community, we're inviting neighbors to help guide this vision and shape the future of the park together. Meet us on Tuesday, June 10th from 6:30-8:00pm at 1021 Linwood Ave to participate. This project is led by the CCA and local landscape architects EnviroCollab in conjunction with the Parks and People, Baltimore City Rec and Parks (BCRP), and Councilmember Mark Parker. Have questions? Email us at info@CantonCommunity.org.

Let's reimagine and revitalize the heart of our community together. Stop by to hear what's in the works, share your thoughts, and help bring new life to O'Donnell Square Park. 

The CCA will host a hybrid Public Meeting on May 13 at 6:30 pm. We’re going to fill you in on CCA news and we’ll field some questions, too. Join us in person at Church on the Square at 1025 S. Potomac Ave. or watch online on our FB page. To submit a question in advance, please email info@cantoncommunity.org.

Agenda:
1. 801 S Highland Ave - The former Canton Middle School - Chanae Tynes, Senior Project Manager for Strategy and Compliance in the Office of Operations at Baltimore City Public Schools.

Project Overview:
BCPSS, in partnership with Cushman & Wakefield, is initiating a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify a developer for the Canton Middle Building. This project is part of a Public-Private Partnership aimed at revitalizing the currently vacant property. The redevelopment will include a mixed-use building and a dedicated Pre-K facility for Baltimore City Public Schools. Our goal is to repurpose this space to better serve the community and enhance educational access.

Purpose of Our Attendance:
We would like to attend your next scheduled community meeting to:

• Provide a brief overview of the project and share our vision.

• Outline the key steps in the RFP process.

• Gather initial feedback from community members to ensure their voices are part of the planning.

Please let us know if it would be possible to join your upcoming meeting, as well as any relevant dates, times, or next steps for participation.

Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to the opportunity to engage with the Canton community and discuss this exciting project.
