Safe Community Summit

Bill — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 15:40:49 +0000

Various groups throughout Huntington, including all of the neighborhood associations, are actively working on a series of Safer Neighborhood Meetings culminating in a Safer Neighborhood Summit on May 25th. Each meeting is designed to get citizen feedback on ways we think we can actually actively make our neighborhoods better places to live and to develop specific plans to help make our goals a reality. If you think your neighborhood could be safer, in any way, then it behooves you to attend a meeting (or more)!

Here are the currently scheduled meetings:

Spring Hill : April 14th 6pm @ Cabell Huntington Hospital
Southside : April 20th 6:30pm @ Southside Elementary
Highlawn : May 4th 7:30pm @ Highlawn United Methodist Church
Walnut Hills: May 11th 6:30pm @ Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge
West Huntington: May 14th 7pm @ Central United Methodist Church
Westmoreland: May 17th 6:30pm @ Westmoreland Women’s Club

To help foster discussion I strongly encourage you to download and read the Safer Neighborhood Discussion Guide which will be used during the meetings to help guide and foster the discussion. If you want you can also print out this Flyer for the Action Summit and use it to advertise the meetings and the final summit throughout your neighborhood.

City Responds Quickly To Vandalism

Over the past weekend there was extensive spray paint vandalism done to the new playground at McClellan Park (27th street). The vandalism was reported to the city’s park board Monday morning and by Monday afternoon it had been removed. A big cheer to the park board for being so dilligent! Remember, if you see vandalism, or vandals, to report them to the proper authorities to get it cleaned up and to put and end to this self destructive behavior!

Highlawn Neighborhood Association Meeting Tonight

Bill — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 21:17:52 +0000

If you live in, or care about, the Highlawn Neighborhood I encourage you to swing by the Neighborhood Association meeting tonight at the United Methodist Church (near the corner of 3rd Ave and 28th St I think). The meeting starts at 7:00pm and is usually an informal but informative affair.

Tonights meeting is an important one as the city will be making a presentation concerning our sewer systems (which you probably know aren’t in great shape) they will also discuss the storm water runoff problems, including basement backup issues.

You can learn more about the association at their website: www.highlawnneighbors.org
