The Greater Arbutus Community Alliance was formed by community activists interested in presenting a unified voice for the many communities in the Southwest area of Baltimore County. Originally conceived as an "umbrella" organization, GACA has expanded to include individual members.
GACA works to improve the Arbutus area communities by being actively involved in zoning and code enforcement issues, economic development and educational matters. Members of GACA represent the area on Streetscape and Community Plan advisory committees, as well as on the Community Conservation Action Group. We maintain membership in the Arbutus Business and Professional Association. GACA is also working with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Maryland to bring a youth center to Arbutus.
One of our goals for the year 2000 is to bring more members into GACA and into leadership positions.
