For All Seasons Shares Information and Resources During Human Trafficking Awareness Month | |
For All Seasons hosted several activities during January to promote Human Trafficking Awareness Month. For this year’s annual Red Sand Project, staff involved all For All Seasons’ offices and many partners across the Shore in the awareness initiative using red sand to represent victims of human trafficking who may be hiding in plain sight. Red sand was poured into sidewalk or pavement cracks to spark dialogue and awareness.
Susan Ahlstrom, Regional Navigator, provided Human Trafficking Awareness 101 and Internet Safety presentations across the five Mid-Shore counties. Additionally, Susan and team members provided youth and family education at Cambridge South Dorchester High School, North Dorchester High School, and in Caroline County Public Schools. For All Seasons’ staff also presented proclamations in all 5 counties on the Mid-Shore.
Our Center for Learning shared two free human trafficking prevention online courses created by For All Seasons: one for the hospitality industry and one for mandated reporters.
For All Seasons' Center for Learning also hosted a free Lunch & Learn, bringing together community members both in person and virtually for an important conversation about protecting youth and vulnerable individuals from online exploitation and human trafficking.

Jayla says being able to get this approved would be huge for the Dorchester County’s music and entertainment scene.

CWDI Selects Broker, Takes Stock as Year Closes | |
At its December 18, 2025, meeting, the Cambridge Waterfront Development Inc. (CWDI) board announced that it has selected a commercial real estate broker to market properties at Cambridge Harbor.
CWDI Board President Angie Hengst said the broker’s identity will be revealed once the contract is finalized, adding the presence of a broker marks a significant step toward attracting private developers for the infrastructure and public amenities envisioned for the project.
The board also used the year’s final meeting to review finances, discuss a proposed operating budget, and note renewed federal interest in the project.
Financial Review and Approvals
Board members approved updated financial statements for audit, showing the project remains primarily grant-funded with total grant income just under $2.4 million. Key funding includes a nearly $1.8 million federal Economic Development Administration grant, a state appropriation as local match, and about $297,000 from the state Rural Economic Development Fund for infrastructure design.
