York Road Initiative
A growth of 山ּ's 2008-13 Strategic Plan to “take a leadership role in the development of a multi-dimensional plan to improve the quality of life for all persons living, working, and learning in the York Road corridor,” Loyola's York Road Initiative is a place-based community development strategy geographically focused in the Greater Govans/ York Road corridor communities of north Baltimore City adjacent to our Evergreen campus.
The York Road Initiative is geographically focused in the Govans community of north Baltimore City, specifically, Cold Spring Lane (山ּEvergreen Campus) to Northern Parkway (山ּClinical Centers at Belvedere Square) and involves community constituencies, including neighborhood residents and associations, faith-based, civic and business organizations, public and private leaders.
Partnering with neighbors and others, York Road Initiative focuses on the educational development, health, and well-being of community residents, as well as upon the economic viability of our neighborhoods, including our residential and retail establishments. The mission is to collaborate with neighbors and partners to produce positive change for all residents in the York Road community that improves the area education and youth development, builds civic capacity and strengthens the York Road commercial corridor.
