What’s new: I’ve got 7 projects that need neighbor attention, input and action. If you’re interested, please sign up for one of the following activities to create a true Downtown neighborhood that is diverse and welcoming:
Block Audits – take stock of needs as you traverse the neighborhood.
DASH Nights – learn more about the new DASH route with free food!
Why it matters: The cool thing about living Downtown is that there is something for everyone.
Real talk: the neighborhood won’t create itself.
No matter what your interest, passion or curiosity, there are neighbors near you that share the same interests – and are looking for connections, too!
People make the place and the Downtown neighborhood needs your involvement to make it great for everyone.
What’s next: Look at the list of options above and choose one that sounds like something to which you could contribute. We’re meeting regularly, or will be soon, about each of these causes and I want to make sure that Downtown neighbors have a seat at the table.
📅 What’s Happening

There are three opportunities to connect, depending on where you live:
What if the Downtown Neighbor Network had a space for you to share your ideas, thoughts and views about neighborhood projects?
As we make lists of projects and people looking to get involved, I’m thinking about ways to connect neighbors with similar interests…
If you’re also looking for something like this – a way to connect, find out what’s going on, and share your perspective - take a test drive through one possibility here!
