WELCOME

  The Loch Raven Improvement Association is a dynamic community that is well-positioned for the future.  As we continue our mission in keeping our neighborhood safe, clean and strong, the LRIA Executive Board and membership body are fully committed to providing residents and future generations an outstanding quality of life. 


 The LRIA encourages membership that is actively involved in the community by joining at least one of several committees that exists to improve our lifestyle.  Active participation by members of our neighborhood will continue a long tradition of community service and socially responsible practices.


As we progress through the New Year, it is hopeful that residents become engaged in community participation by making an annual dues contribution, attending meetings, and doing your part in maintaining a viable neighborhood by addressing substandard housing and sanitation conditions, unlawful behavior, and other unacceptable quality-of-life issues.


THE STRENGTH AND STABILILTY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DEPENDS ON YOU!!!


 Get involved and enjoy what is the Loch Raven Improvement Association.

2022 LRIA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE continues!!!

The Loch Raven Improvement Association, Inc. (LRIA) is a self-sustaining, non-profit community organization that works diligently to maintain a stable neighborhood 

for the mutual benefit of all residents.  

Today, we are calling on your assistance to support our mission. 


Having a stake in LRIA membership is one easy way to express your commitment 

in supporting our proactive effort to preserve and stimulate property values, 

promote superior standards of housing, sanitation and community health, and support 

initiatives that combat crime and nuisance behavior.  As we strive to expand our membership base, 

the more likely we will be able to inspire positive change throughout the neighborhood.


Annual membership dues are still only $20 per household, and your contribution is directly reinvested back into the community.  Beautification projects, multiple community-focused events, preservation of our community garden, and improving the overall infrastructure of our neighborhood 

are just a few of the many efforts in which we are involved. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!  


You may make payment by any of the following methods: 

  1. In-person, at any monthly community association meeting, 
  2. U.S. Postal mail to: LRIA, P.O. Box 66226, Baltimore, MD 21239, or 
  3. Online via our LRIA.org website (link below)

REDISTRICTING IMPACTS ON LOCH RAVEN NEIGHBORHOOD

As per the 2020 census, population loss in Baltimore City was detrimental in the redrawing of congressional and legislative districts.  This redistricting redraw directly affects the Loch Raven community by now separating our neighborhood into two districts -  the 43rd district to the WEST of Hillen Road, and the 45th district (new to us) to the EAST of Hillen Road.    


Please be advised that this separation of districts does NOT separate the structure of the Loch Raven Improvement Association.  We are still one united neighborhood, and effective January 2023, will be represented by two (2) senators, and two delegates (43rd district) and three delegates (45th district).   While this may sound confusing, and while some may take a negative view of this action, it actually may be more beneficial to our community with more resources and bargaining power.  Loch Raven looks forward to working with our representatives from both districts.    


The upcoming 2022 gubernatorial election WILL BE affected by this new change, with many residents who were once in the 43rd district, now preparing to vote in the 45th district.   And with the announced retirements of two current delegates, and the loss of one seat in the 43rd district, there will be new faces in the election.     


Residents are highly encouraged to research the candidates of your choice now, in order that you may make an informed decision as to who will represent you (us) moving forward.
