We believe West Newport deserves a comprehensive neighborhood development plan that is created by the residents that live here. To do this, we have partnered with Hub+Weber and Interact for Health to create a community led plan for the neighborhood. Over the last several months, we have been meeting with residents throughout West Newport on what they love about their neighborhood, the challenges the neighborhood faces and what they want the future of the neighborhood look like. Through this process of hosting several community engagement sessions, we are slowly creating a comprehensive development plan for the neighborhood based in equity that represents the vision residents see for their neighborhood. You can find the summary of what we’ve heard from the community below as well as a fully detailed response here.
As we have continued to collect community feedback during the planning process and the future vision of the neighborhood, the overall plan has begun taking shape and evolving with the process. Below, you will find drafts of the plan that was formed directly from community engagement and input.
