CBS: Marcus Garvey Park set for million-dollar makeover
CBS2 community partner Harlem Grown just received big backing from the Mellon Foundation's Humanities In Place program to fund a makeover of Marcus Garvey Park.
Harlem Grown's mission to grow healthy Harlem families has grown to more than a dozen urban farms in a decade. Now, the nonprofit will work with the city to maximize the neighborhood park's potential.
"You don't have to go to Midtown to have a good time," said Assanah. "You could come right here to Harlem."
