I am looking for some organizations that have been formed by citizens, to improve thier nieghborhood. My Neighborhood is fading fast, the city told me to form an association and do it ourselves. which i appreciate my type written letter, hat my tax dollars afforded basic telling me to eat sh*it.

So i want to get involved, and i want to do something, althogh i do nto want to recreate the entire wheel.

Do any of you know of an organization or were there is information about hiese types of commitiees, i know little about getting these things started.

if my speeling in off or my grammer please forgive

Answer 1

Rochester, NY has a neighborhood that was the worse in the city years ago.

The neighborhood association has not only revived this area but turned it into the poshest most desirable area to live.

Try looking at their website and contacting them for ideas.

Other cities that have been successful in revitalization are different buroughs of NYC and Salem, Ma

good luck and good job getting involved.

edit:

contact your local chamber of commerce and the mayors office. find out if they have an urban redevelopment program and volunteer for it..if they do not..then offer to head one up.

they have the resources financial, networking, commercial and political to help you get the job started...it will take you and your energy and passion to get the job done!
