Description
Activating neighborhoods can take many forms, including gatherings, neighborhood clean-ups, adopt-a-street programs, or landscaping programs. Improving neighborhoods through grass-roots programming, supported by city staff, will require close partnerships between the city and its neighborhoods. Identifying city staff and neighborhood liaisons, both for communities with and without homeowner associations (HOAs) will be key to the success of this strategy.
