About Us 2025

Founded in 1937 by the Greenbelt Cooperative Publishing Association, Inc., the paper began mere weeks after Greenbelt’s first residents moved in.  It has been published weekly since without interruption, maintaining its long-standing tradition of providing news and information to the community. 

Organized as a worker cooperative, it is staffed and owned by its members who are eligible to receive dividends for their participation.  It is also supported by a a small group of part time employees who provide essential skills.

Delivered free of charge to most Greenbelt residents and available throughout the community, the publication has become a cornerstone of local life, reflecting the cooperative spirit and rich history of the town. For decades, it has connected residents with stories, updates, and events, fostering a sense of community and continuity in Greenbelt.
