District 6 Public Meeting Notice

 

North End/South Como Community Building Plan

 

 

The Community Building Plan will deal with the gaps in services, what the neighborhoods see as priorities and how to go about getting things done. While Council Member Lee Helgen’s office and District 6 Planning Council are the lead on the plan, other community stakeholders such as the North End Business Association and Sparc will play a role, as will you the folks who live here.

Process

In October, 2008, District 6 Planning Council hired CultureBrokers LLC to conduct an analysis of the current neighborhood situation, help the council identify and select priorities and tell the story of the neighborhood, asking the questions; where are the gaps and why should investment be in this neighborhood?

 

District 6 and CultureBrokers LLC will hold a total of eight public meetings over 5 months to provide neighborhood residents and businesses an opportunity to hear more about the process and expectations, look at (and comment on) the challenges and opportunities in the neighborhood, and preview the plan before its launch. Comments are welcome and encouraged! All comments will be compiled and fed into the plan.  In addition, CultureBrokers will be compiling hard data and conducting individual interviews of persons selected to represent demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the neighborhoods residents and businesses.  Based on all this information, a community conditions report will be developed and reviewed by the public and  District 6 Planning Council.

 

Written comments on the project and the community conditions report will be accepted until 5:00 PM on January 16, 2009.  They may be submitted to Lisa Tabor of CultureBrokers LLC via e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , fax to 1-866-842-4033 (toll free), or mail (111 Jessamine Ave. West, Saint Paul, MN 55117).
