    Community Building Institue Final Report

    The Community Building Institute conducted research on Kennedy Heights last year to help us identify some of our assets and challenges and to recommend ways to work better together. The final report found that there were four key strategic areas where many residents focused energy: safety, business district revitalization, education and the arts. The report has a recommendations on how to effect better collaboration amongst these groups. We'd like to share them with you here.

    KHCC is planning an open Town Hall meeting in the Fall so we can share our stories with each other on how we contribute to our neighborhood, and to decide together where KHCC should focus its efforts regarding the Comprehensive Plan. Byron White of The Community Building Institute will be leading that discussion.
