Hillyard CD Neighborhood

COMMUNITY GARDEN

The Hillyard Steering Committee used its neighborhood allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds to provide irrigation lines to a community vegetable garden, adjacent to the Northeast Community Center. Several organizations collaborated in the construction of the garden, which is being used, primarily, by Hillyard residents living in nearby apartments designed for low-income residents.

Other CDBG-funded projects and programs of the Hillyard Steering Committee:

Sidewalk new construction and reconstruction
Park land acquisition and development of Loren Kondo Park at Florida and Longfellow and a, as yet, unnamed park at Lacey and Wabash
Land acquisition for a youth sports complex
Neighborhood cleanups
Public service programs for the benefit of seniors and youth
Leadership training for increased citizen participation
Housing rehabilitation for income-eligible single family homeowners

You are invited to attend the Steering Committee meetings:

Last Thursday of the month, 7:00 p.m.
