The skinny on the neighborhood meetings

Ok, this is the press release version:

“A community at work rebuilding its own community” is the mission statement of Central City Comeback Committee. Each week members of the community gather and discuss news, events, meetings, and concerns. The attendance at these meetings varies somewhat, but they consistently are attended by representatives from Urban Impact, Sixth District police officers, and lead by Pat Evens of the UNO Urban Roots project.

Members of this committee bring information to the table concerning the results of each week’s bevy of meetings that were attended throughout the city by committee members. Regular topics of discussion include: charter schools, housing, trailer and plot allocation, job resources, information distribution, safety, and community / police relationship enhancement.

The jist of this group, is that it is very slow moving towards small actions….but it has been a good place for people to ask questions and share info. After the holidays, this group will be making a concerted effort to go-public, so I will fill you all in.
