Neighborhood Surveying to Reduce Blight
Program Description
Organic program to determine and reduce blight; to develop a continuously updated map of property status in OUR neighborhood. This project method was first introduced to FGNA by Dr. Quintus Jett of Tucks U. (Dartmouth); currently new profiles/maps used by Lakewood Beacon of Hope (http://www.lakewoodbeacon.org) are utilized. The info obtained may be used to expedite the efforts of the city’s code enforcement staff to eliminate blight, and will assist in defining those programs/resources that best suit the recovery and development goals of Filmore Gardens.
