Community Change Center Open House - Thursday, November 13 |
|
|
 The Community Change Center is a new project of the Frogtown Rondo Partnership to help neighbors in our community use the latest information and tools to create change in and around the Central Corridor neighborhoods. The project is bringing new ideas in how to visualize change and putting those ideas into the hands of our neighborhood. This way,our residents can have access to current, complete information about the Light Rail project and how it will impact our area. In some cases, these technologies are being created just for this project.
The ideas, maps and technology will be on display in the new Community Change Center, located right in the Greater Frogtown building at 533 Dale Street N. The open house will be Thursday, November 13 from 4:30 to 8:30 PM. We hope to see you there!
