Do you think we can clean Bushwick up a little bit? Tired of looking at run down buidlings. ?

Question

With a little elbow grease the community could clean it up and decrease the crime and violence. If your answer is why don't i just move, then that is the wrong idea. I live in a nice building and I think the area has a lot of potential with everyone moving to Brooklyn sooner or latter the area will improve but not fast enough. Is there a community program, with clean up goals? or revenue goals to bring in new business?

Answer 1

I'm sure there are MANY organizations and programs that you can contact.  Here are a few that I found:

http://www.woodbinegarden.org/

http://www.hudsonriver.org/

http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/B016/

And those are the "local" ones.  There is the national volunteer site from the Feds, which cover ALL sorts of volunteering groups...

Have a polite day.
