a sustainable future
The Greater Baybrook Vision and Action Plan looks towards a future where the peninsula’s streets are free of crime and danger for local residents. A safer Baybrook, where residents feel comfortable walking their streets, will attract new neighbors and strengthen the peninsula communities
There is power within the bountiful natural resources present in Greater Baybrook. Existing green spaces will provide gathering spaces for local residents, attract new visitors to the peninsula, and act as anchors for the emerging environmental sustainability movement in the area. Emphasizing programming and usage of area parks will create a location for peninsula activities and community building.

The goal of this grant program to provide matching resources for mid- to large-scale community improvement projects such as murals, neighborhood signage, and school greening projects in order to develop neighborhood-driven, highly visible quality of life improvements that promote strong community building.

CRIME PREVENTION
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
Part of the Baybrook Violence Reduction Plan (BVRP), our CPTED work aims to invest in the areas of our community that are most impacted by violence. GBA is working to direct strategic improvements to properties that have nexus with crime and violence in these areas. Examples of interventions include vacant facade remediation and improvements, vacant house stabilization funds that will incentivize property redevelopment, alley gating and greening, lighting and cameras, and vacant lot remediation.
