This source, an article from the Good News Network, reports on a unique community initiative in Baltimore. Amtrak, while demolishing 100-year-old townhomes for a new tunnel, contracted a salvage company to recover historic building materials and functional appliances. These salvaged items, ranging from marble steps to water heaters and refrigerators, are being offered free to residents of specific local neighborhoods, with others able to purchase items. The project highlights environmental responsibility and community support, ensuring that valuable resources from demolished homes are repurposed rather than discarded.
