COMMUNITY MEETING TOPICS:
What’s
New in the Redevelopment of John Eager
Howard School?
School Design Team members have
been meeting every two weeks for several months monitoring, collecting community
opinion, and advocating for a school facility that is an asset to the Reservoir
Hill community.
At this meeting, School Design
Team leaders will discuss the status of the design process and key elements of
the newly designed facility.
The
redevelopment of the school is expected in 2015. It will be the largest single
development project in Reservoir Hill to date, and has great potential for
Reservoir Hill families and the community as a whole. This will be a great
opportunity to interact with the School Design Team
members.
A
Comprehensive Community Plan
At our Annual meeting we held an
extensive discussion on the need for strategic public and private investments in
the communities surrounding schools undergoing redevelopment. While the
investment in a new John Eager Howard school facility will be a very significant
and positive development for Reservoir Hill, strategic, seamless investment by
City and State departments, and private sector partners, throughout the
community can maximize school development as full community development. To
achieve this requires a comprehensive plan to guide such investment, drawing
together the diverse projects underway in and around Reservoir Hill and
developing community opinion around new priorities. But not just a plan that
sits on a shelf – a vibrant, tool we actively use.
In autumn 2013 the School Design
Team began outreach to community institutions as a first step in developing the
foundations for such a plan. Now RHIC is entering into a partnership with
Neighborhood Design Center (NDC) to work with community members to create that
plan. This meeting is an opportunity for community members to discuss and shape
this process.
At this
meeting, NDC and RHIC personnel will discuss the project.
Please join
us and become part of the effort at the very
beginning.
