BID Secures Grant to Clean Vacant Mt. Airy Lots

A grant from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will allow for 50 vacant parcels to be cleaned.

The Mount Airy Business Improvement District has secured a grant through the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to clean up 50 vacant parcels in East Mt. Airy. “It’s important because as lots become clean, the near neighbors become invested,” said BID director Hollie Malamud-Price.  “We hope that it will also deter future dumping.” The grant provides up to $23 per parcel for cleaning, and the BID has subcontracted with Goodwin Landscape out of Germantown to do the work. ‘They’ve done work with the horticultural society before,” Malamud-Price said.  “We’re excited for them to get to work.” Right now, the grant is good through October, but Malamud-Price is hopeful that the BID will receive the same grant again next year. “We’re definitely …

There are no permits, no meters and no lots at that end of the Avenue,” Malamud-Price said.  “We …
