RESEARCH & PROJECT AREA SELECTION The Jackson-Mahon and Parkway Cherry-Point neighborhoods were slated for Adopt-a-Spot in 2014 Analysis, research, housing assessment and an opinion survey is currently underway The following methodology or criteria has been established for selecting a neighborhood project area: 1. The existence of a neighborhood organization or a group of well-known engaged citizens 2. NEED: The number of code enforcement impediments and crime in a geographical area 3. The increase in tenant-occupied properties, which can be an indicator of neighborhood decline Once a neighborhood is selected the NELCDC and its partners will seek: • An opportunity of collaboration with other federal, state, city or local investment in an area A resolution from the city determining the chosen area as a neighborhood revitalization target area • Corporate resolutions or an MOU from each participating partner’s Board of Directors determining • the chosen area as a neighborhood revitalization target area
ABOUT THE PROJECT NEIGHBORHOODS Parkway Cherry-Point and Jackson-Mahon Neighborhoods UPDATED: 1/12/2017 • NELCDC will provide a revised estimate of households in each neighborhood • NELCDC took a closer look at the general use codes in the data • • This allows the NELCDC to isolate single-family, from duplexes and apartment complexes • NELCDC will publish the number of housing units that will receive surveys as well as the units that will receive an individual housing assessment once the surveys are mailed. • Housing assessment training with NELCDC staff, for both neighborhoods, began 1/12/2017; surveys were printed and will be mailed on 1/13 or no later than 1/17.
