Project Description

The Frances Slocum Neighborhood Activation began in January 2024 with three interested neighborhood residents. This year, the Frances Slocum Neighborhood will have gone door-to-door speaking to neighbors, hold at least three neighborhood events with goals to bring the community together, create and establish a board, and encourage further activation of the neighborhood.

What is Neighborhood Activation?

Neighborhood Activation begins with interested residents contacting the City. A City Liaison is assigned to the neighborhood and provides support, resources, and best practices over the course of 12-18 months.

The ultimate goal of Neighborhood Activation is to empower residents to independently manage their neighborhood association.

The City Liaison distributes a survey and conducts at least 50 interviews of neighborhood residents. The process concludes with a comprehensive written document on neighborhood history, demographics, and data.
