“Over the past year CLD Partners has worked to develop a trusting relationship with the Woodberry community,” he added. “We have developed during that time, a mutual trust born out of our desire to make the neighborhood better. I believe that trust is everything and above all I value integrity and my ability to work effectively with communities. As such, I have notified the owners of the property that I have decided to remove myself and CLD Partners from the Woodberry Project partnership effective immediately.”
