Our Vision
We aim to make the South Side a healthy and vibrant community where families and individuals choose to live, work and play. We will accomplish this vision by:
-
- Recognizing the neighborhood’s commitment to the arts, with the South Side’s rich history taking center stage through venues and events.
- Providing urban parks filled with activities and events that regularly bring residents together and celebrate the community’s diverse demographic groups.
- Making East Carson Street a featured destination for the entire region where a public spaces initiative will transform it into an attractive and walk-able avenue with unique retail shops and restaurants.
- Creating an environment where residents and businesses are mutually-supportive and share a sense of community pride.
