COMMUNITY FEEDBACK • “The best thing about NEP program is actually asking us - the community where we want funds to be spent. Community input is always a plus!” • “Meeting all the neighbors and learning ways to improve Bridle Trails. I met so many new friends!” • “I appreciate the input on what's happening in my neighborhood” • “It was nice to help the community get together and think about working together.” • “I suggested an item and it was rejected. However , I received a personal response of why it was not feasible at this time. I greatly appreciated your personal attention to address it.” • “I have been unable to participate in the past but will try more in the future. Thank you for this great process.”
