Five Year Evaluation of Goals 2008 -2012
- 1. Housing/Infrastructure: Goal – improved and beautified to create a walkable,
healthy and safe community. 78% of residents saw a change in housing, ~ 30 new homes built, 80 homes weatherized, 15 homes demolished for blight removal.
- 2. Education: Goal – school will be the center of the community where children
and adults develop knowledge and skills necessary for successful lives. School underwent structural renovations, including community room and added USI health clinic. Neighbors recommend school based on perception. (Low test scores still warrant concern – ongoing discussions with school corp.)

green.” Clean up of 40 properties, added community garden, major artery is a “complete” street (to be connected to Greenway), 68 apartments demolished lessening density creating green space.
