John Hopkins BioPark, ALIVE…
Middle East Baltimore Residents, DIE.

Residents from the 900 Block of North Washington Street Came Together to Discuss the Increasing Number of Asthma Cases That Have Been Caused By Constant Dust, Debris That Continues to Worry Most Parents and Grandparents With Small Children, the Unclean Water That Goes Repeatedly Unnoticed, and The Residents Would Like to Know What is Johns Hopkins, EBDI and the City of Baltimore Going to Do to Meet the Needs of the Community.

Baltimore, MD—On Thursday, May 31st, community residents and SMEAC have an opportunity to speak with Jack Shannon, President and CEO of EBDI and Bob Penn, Chief Operating Office, to ask questions about East Baltimore Development Inc. emergency relocation process. 

Since the beginning of this project, 7 years ago, there still lingers the question of Who Cares About The Residents? “Apparently, since they don’t have to live here and breathe in this dust, they don’t care if our children are at risk of having asthma attacks!” says Charlotte Johnson, A Resident from the 900 Block of North Washington Street.

“For 7 years we’ve had to endure having our lives interrupted by EBDI’s construction and still they turn a deaf ear to our health concerns!” says Charlotte Johnson. “ So, We, the Residents of the 900 Block of North Washington Street, along with SMEAC, have decided that EBDI MUST KEEP US ALIVE!”
