The About Our Community reflects our assessment of our neighborhood's current reality as we see it. Through this report, we aim to document the current major assets and opportunities our community plans to build on as we undertake a Quality-of-Life Plan (QLP).

We assembled this information over several months during the summer and fall of 2020, through our research and outreach to a wide variety of our neighbors, local institutions and other community-based stakeholders who we hope will join us in creating and implementing the plan. 

We also hope this helps those of you outside our community understand the reality we experience in the neighborhood. Part of the reason we are undertaking a Quality-of-Life Plan is to invite your knowledge and resources that might currently be deployed in other communities to help us make our community’s vision a reality.

We welcome all partners and resources who seek to join in and follow our lead - reach out, we would love to have a conversation on how to make that happen.
