Parks & People’s President and CEO Dr. Frank Lance had the exciting honor of emceeing TouchPoint Empowerment Center’s first press conference this morning. In the vacant old box store filled in many community organizations, students, elected officials, nonprofit representatives, corporate executives, activated citizens, and friends and family. There was a lot of love and support expressed in that room as we all celebrated one thing: a personal, tangible investment in Greater Mondawmin and Baltimore City.

Working with the Greater Mondawmin Coordinating Council, local business leader and community supporter Tim Regan personally purchased the former Mondawmin Mall Target store to create an active community hub that will revitalize the historic West Baltimore neighborhood and Mondawmin Mall.
