The Perry Hall Improvement Association ( PHIA ) is the oldest and largest civic organization in northeastern Baltimore County, Maryland.

Since Perry Hall is not incorporated, the PHIA is the dominant communitywide coalition in the area.

The PHIA worked with other groups to restart the Halloween Parade and begin a summer concert series, the centerpiece of which was a performance by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Between 1996 and 2009, the PHIA membership grew from 200 members to more than 2, 000.

An early version of the PHIA operated during the Second World War, when Perry Hall residents organized a Health Committee to help veterans purchase wheelchairs, crutches, and other equipment.

The PHIA defeated plans for a cemetery on the South Farm, a racetrack on Forge Road, and a drive-in movie theater near St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.

The PHIA also lobbied for lights along Joppa, Forge, and Cross Roads and Schroeder and Bauer Avenues.

The PHIA pressured Baltimore County officials to fund road improvements and build new schools.

The PHIA worked on civic activities as well, starting a Community Christmas Party in 1946 and a Halloween Parade in 1949.

In 1976, the PHIA helped form a Bicentennial Committee that hosted events at the old Perry Hall School.

In 1994, the PHIA provided critical local support for the Honeygo Plan, a blueprint for developing Perry Hall ’ s rural northeast.

With the Honeygo Plan adopted and much of the community now built-out, the PHIA focused in the late 1990s on some of the civic activities that had been abandoned years earlier.

Also that year, the PHIA worked with other groups and elected officials to preserve the Perry Hall Mansion.

Recently, the PHIA has focused on construction of a new Perry Hall library, completion of several new parks, and strategies to reduce school overcrowding.
