The Port Covington Development Team announced Thursday that it has invested $2.5 million in South Baltimore community organizations over the past year, as part of its community benefits agreement with six South Baltimore neighborhoods. This latest round of grants includes 12 macro grants totaling $815,000 and 25 micro grants totaling $262,000. Macro grants went towards organizations working on initiatives that will create positive change in at least two of the six South Baltimore neighborhoods — Brooklyn, Cherry Hill, Curtis Bay, Lakeland, Mt. Winans and Westport — while micro grants went towards organizations working on smaller projects.
