Mr. Bagby was also part of the committee that stopped the installation of a Federal Prison Building in the Forestville/ Upper Marlboro area.

Mr. Bagby is also a part of the Pennsylvania Avenue Sound Barrier Project and worked to get the installation of barriers at dead end streets in the Berkshire Community to prevent trespassers and appointed block captains and neighborhood watch throughout the community. He also works with the Berkshire Community Newsletter, leads the monthly neighborhood clean-up, plants trees and shrubs in the community for beautification, and is working to get sidewalks repaired and installed in the community.

In addition to the above, Mr. Bagby utilizes his personal funds to serve the community. He purchases trash bags and gloves for community clean up days. He also uses his home office supplies to create promotional materials for community meetings and events. Mr. Bagby also uses his personal vehicle to haul plans and mulch used on beautification days.
