Volunteer David Marks Fights Over-Development, School Crowding

ESSEX, MD — Without community leaders, Essex, Middle River, White Marsh, and Perry Hall wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as they do. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Susan, an Essex-Middle River reader who nominated David Marks.
