SCHEDULE
2009
May 18 (6:30-8:30pm)
Focus Group Meeting, ACLT Offices
Residents and busines owners met to report on the neighborhood celebration event this summer, talk about next steps for assembling a neighborhood plan that can be adopted by the Municipality, and neighborhood image-building. Laura Norton Cruz and Mike Gutierrez introduced the focus group to the Mountain View Community Justice and Family Service Center program that is getting started.
The focus group also discussed a possible neighborhood-to-neighborhood meeting/teleconference with a citizen planning organization in Minneapolis that has been doing similar revitalization and community activities in a neighborhood that has a lot in common with Mountain View. The MV focus group is interested in talking with them about their experiences, particularly: mechanisms to get redevelopment going, housing strategies, their marketing approach, how they did/do community outreach and mentoring. Other ideas? Please email Heather (heather@agnewbeck.com).
