The purpose of the Association is to promote neighbor relations, pride, safety and stabilization in the area. It is an effort to get citizens who care about Federal Hill together for joint efforts to preserve and improve the neighborhood and to speak with a majority voice on neighborhood issues.
The limits of the Federal Hill area shall be defined as follows: All people residing, owning property, or operating a business in the area defined as the Federal Hill National Historic District, that is, the area bounded by Hanover Street on the west, Cross Street on the south, the pier head line of the Inner Harbor basin on the east, and Key Highway and Hughes Street on the north.
MISSION:
"To Preserve, Progress and Promote Our Historic Lifestyle."
To Preserve:
Those dedicated residents who have come before us over the years, as prior board members and neighborhood activists at large, believed that what ever Federal Hill was to become it would be based on the preservation of its history. This principle should be as solid as the bedrock beneath us because with out it Federal Hill will become an imbalanced blend of contemporary commercial gentrification.
To Progress:
While there are many uniquely Federal Hill businesses that have helped to improve the marketable brand of our neighborhood we are lacking the premium boutique retail shops that our demographics support. It is our goal to balance this deficit by recruiting premium boutique retailers and assisting our current merchants with improving their signage and frontages to reflect a true historic business district.
To Promote:
Most of all every member of the board are evangelist and challenge ALL of our neighbors join us in telling people why our part of the world is the best place to live, work and play. The empowerment and confidence to witness our lifestyle will only transpire when we are assured that our first two objectives are being tended to.
