During late summer and early fall in 2024, we took a survey of people in our neighborhoods to find out how long people have been living here, if they rent or own, what they like about our neighborhoods, what they want to improve in our neighborhoods, offer a pathway to get connected with the neighborhood association via our announcements list or by joining, and give people an easy to way to join our committees. Thank you to everyone who participated!
