One of our area’s primary strengths identified was our excellent location. Our near proximity to all major business centers in the city makes the near northwest area an excellent location to live and do business. A Location Committee was created to find ways to enhance and market this feature. Projects they will be working on include working with Metro to increase public transportation in the area, improving entrances into our area, improved signage for the area and synchronizing the lights to enhance mobility in the area. |

Security continues to be an important issue for our area. In addition to regular police patrols, we have added an additional Constable in the area to the seven already patrolling to reinforce security. The Weed & Seed Grant is forming new commercial and residential partnerships that increase security in the area and the District is applying for additional grants to bring new security programs into the area. Currently, we are working on applications for an anti-gang grant and a grant to build youth leaders through service learning projects. |

Enhancing our greenspace was also identified as a priority for our area and a Beautification Committee was created to work with the City Parks Department for regular park maintenance, pursue the completion of the bike trails and continue working to make the former golf course property into a greenspace for all area residents and their families. |

Finally, a Business Development Committee was created to focus on bringing new businesses into the area. These efforts will include creating a new web site for the District, developing a comprehensive master plan and working to improve business relationships both inside the district and the city. |
