Year One: A
Promising Beginning
More than 1000 residents
participated in neighborhood
assemblies and workgroup meetings
in 2007, and the potential of this
civic engagement initiative is
tremendous. In just the first year, BNAP scored some great successes, as
residents took the lead and worked
with city hall, community, and
university partners to organize
around some creative neighborhood
projects:
- W.E.S.T F.E.S.T
- RIVER CRAWLS
- NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS
ASSOCIATIONS
- CITYWIDE SPRING CLEANUP
- SOUTHSIDE COMMONS PROJECT
- MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY (video
clip)
Year Two:
Building Partnerships
Seven Neighborhood Assemblies
were launched 2008, and each has carried out impressive projects thanks to
citizen leadership, greater organizational structure, and
new partnerships:
As BNAP moves into its third
year, this civic engagement
initiative is only growing more
effective, as residents continue
tapping in to address community needs
and restore the pride.
