If you are interested in being part of an active organization that is working to improve your neighborhood, come to the next meeting and be part of
The Heights Community Development Task Force. Make a Difference in Your Neighborhood and Your City! What is the Heights Community Development Task Force? The Heights Community Development Task Force is a community-run organization that was cr
eated by residents of the Heights to give people in our neighborhood a chance to make a difference where we live. The purpose of the Heights Community Development Task Force is to improve the quality of life and to promote community spirit through the improvement of the Heights area. It is to improve the planning of new developments, the upgrading of housing and streets and the development of public infrastructure and facilities. Our group regularly participates in such decisions as distribution of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, proposed zone changes, City code violations, and anything else that has the potential to affect the neighborhood we call home. Why Should I Attend A Task Force Meeting? Everyone who lives in the Heights, or has a business or service organization in our community has their own ideas on how to change the Heights for the better. Our neighborhood meetings are where those ideas can be voiced and begin to become reality. This is where you, with the help of your neighbors, will make the Heights a better place to live and work. The more people from our area who participate in these meetings, the more ideas will be presented and solutions suggested. Heights Community Development Task Force
