Community Initiatives
Neighborhood Services
There are a number of resources available to neighborhood groups. The Community Engagement Department is your partner when considering what services would work best for you and what additional services might be helpful for the city to pursue.
Neighborhood Workshops
The Community Engagement Department hosts quarterly Neighborhood Workshops in an effort to inform and educate neighborhood associations and groups. Representatives from neighborhood groups are invited to attend the Workshops to connect, learn from each other and become more familiar with available neighborhood services.
The next Neighborhood Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, October 19 6:00 - 7:00 PM at the Banta Center. Join us to learn more about the 2022 Neighborhood Improvement Grant timeline, success stories from the 2021 grant program and details on the 2021 Good Neighbor Recognition program. Please RSVP online in advance.
