Overlea Community President’s Message

Greetings,

This is my first message to the community as president of the OCA, so I should probably introduce myself. You may have seen me (a man with a long ponytail) loitering around the Natural History Society lot on farmer’s market days bouncing from vendor to vendor. I am a longtime (22 years) Overlea resident with a love for volunteering. I have worked for many years as a Scout leader, have served on the board of a few arts organizations, love a good stream cleanup, and was an early champion of Cherry Heights Woodland Garden. My day job is working for an electrical contractor based in Timonium.

It’s an exciting time. Your community association is funding a new sign at Northern Pkwy. and Walther Ave., keeping the bus turnaround cleaned up, planting and maintaining flower pots along Belair Rd., and working with our representatives to clean up and repair our neighborhood streets. Stay tuned for information about grant funding that may be available for local businesses, and updates about MDOTs projected changes and improvements along Belair Rd.

If you see something that you think needs to be addressed, or would like to lend a hand to help, we have a committed group of volunteers actively working on your behalf and are always happy to meet more like-minded people who want the best for our neighborhood.
