WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED• There is a strong residential base.
• It is a civic-minded community, but there is also apathy.
• Revitalization is already occurring, but has not been heavilyacknowledged locally.
• Residents need better access to everyday goods andservices – restaurants, grocery store, etc.
• Need to offer and help create opportunities for residents.
• Conditions within the neighborhood vary significantly.
• Vacant parcels need to be comprehensively addressed –currently problems, but present opportunities

our people and our passion in every projectour people and our passion in every project
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED• More youth programs and organized activities are
needed to support high youth population.• Rental population and absentee landlords have an
adverse effect on neighborhood conditions.• Crime has had direct implications on neighborhood
redevelopment.• New jobs are needed and desirable.• Poverty is a real issue that needs to be addressed
through programs and incentives.
