A Community Beautification Initiative <br />Dear Council Members: <br />We are very excited to introduce for your consideration and hopefully unanimous <br />adoption the attached Resolution on Spring Forward. A Community <br />Beautification Initiative. I am also attaching a brief 9 -page summary which gives <br />greater details about this community -based program which utilizes artistic <br />boarding for vacant and abandoned buildings. <br />We have had the honor of working at the grass roots level with many dedicated <br />individuals from the Neighborhood Resources Corporation (NRC), neighbors and <br />neighborhood organizations, local businesses and the city who are working hard <br />on this "neighborhood initiative designed to bring communities together to <br />beautify their neighborhoods ". <br />Two (2) key dates will be filled with much anticipated activity: <br />March 8th Painting Day x March 91h Installation Day <br />with many prior events leading up to the public unveiling of the many artistic paintings <br />which will be a part of this overall initiative. We request that you refer this Resolution to <br />the Residential Neighborhoods Committee so we can share more information. <br />We ask you to join us and be part of the growing excitement and enthusiasm which is <br />fostering the Spring Forward. A Community Beautification Initiative aimed at <br />temporarily curbing blight and crime in our neighborhoods. Thank you. <br />Most sincerely. <br />m'Seett''�" _ <br />1" District Council Member <br />Henry Davis, Jr. <br />2 "d District Council Member <br />Karen L.
