THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

Retail equipment, refrigeration, store design, and small‑scale construction vendors, as well as food system consultants, can pursue direct sales and services with these grantees and similar future awardees.
Projects located in Baltimore City (District 40) and Rock Hall, Kent County (District 36); both in high Fresh Food Gap areas.
