Jessica Randolph Reed

Greenscape Committee

My husband and I have called Midtown home for 26 years and raised three kids while trying our best to cope with a 1905 era house in need of repairs. Many of my years on the Board have been spent on the Streetscape committee, working with neighbors to raise money and create projects to improve the sidewalks, trees, lighting and crosswalks. I also love working with other neighbors on Pocket Park projects and native plantings. I believe Midtown Brandywine is the best neighborhood in the city because we have built a community together; sharing meals, cleanups, and fun events. When I’m not at a board meeting, you'll find me strength training with clients, baking bread, or walking around the Brandywine.
