About JIA
Jessup MD Improvement
Association (JIA) is dedicated to improving Quality of Life in the
Greater Jessup area, and is constantly in contact with our state and
local elected and appointed officials, and with the surrounding
community associations. JIA concerns cover a wide variety of issues
including land use/zoning, traffic, schools, public facilities,
recreation and youth programs and activities. All eligible persons are
encouraged to join and provide input and ideas.
The meetings conducted by the JIA are held in the Jessup MD Community
