The strongest direction

A flexible, multipurpose community and resource hub

Participants consistently favored a place where several neighborhood needs could work together instead of a single-purpose building.

Listening Session 2

Top-ranked priorities

01

Community Resource & Learning Center

A flexible place for education, financial literacy, workforce development, meetings and neighborhood resources.

02

Food & Health Hub

Healthy food access paired with wellness services, support resources and connections to the neighborhood urban farm.

03

Youth & Family Center

After-school programs, tutoring, mentoring, film, technology and safe spaces for young people and families.

Housing & Neighborhood Revitalization followed closely. Housing remains an important neighborhood issue, but housing on this property has not been established as the community mandate.
