“We envision that our community will be a safe and inviting place where all ages and income levels can work well in quality housing; a place with an outstanding educational system that nurtures every child until they achieve their goals in education and life; and a neighborhood where we all work together to build on our strengths to create a diverse, vibrant, and connected community.”
–Northside Quality of Life Agreement
The vision for the GO Neighborhoods program is that neighborhoods are truly Sustainable Communities – good places to live, do business, work and raise families.
The Near Northside was selected as one of two Pilot GO Neighborhoods communities in 2009. Learn about the journey of neighborhood engagement, planning and implementing “early action projects”, and how you can be part of the implementation of Quality of Life projects in the community. This program is a collaborative and inclusive effort to use the strengths of a community in creating effective partnerships and creative problem solving.
The GO Teams are resident-led groups focused on specific quality of life issues and interests. Team meetings are open to everyone. Check out the calendar and come to a meeting soon!
