Interested in beautifying your neighborhood?

Tired of seeing overgrown yards or rundown homes on your street?

Join the Neighborhood Working Group (NWG), Thursday, Aug. 2, 5:15 p.m., at the Cansler Family YMCA, 616 Jessamine St., to discuss ways to fight blight in your neighborhood.

Cheri Hollifield from Neighborhood Codes Enforcement will join us to discuss tools the city has to combat blight, including the Codes Enforcement process, Public Officer Hearings, Acquisition, Tax Sale, and Demolition by Neglect.

Eden Slater will kick off the meeting with ways to organize your neighborhood group to tackle yard clean-up and other minor blight busting projects in your area.

Your neighborhood starts with you. Come learn tools to make it the best it can be.
