*The City has received a letter from DCED (PA Dept. of Community and Economic Development) stating that our application for funding for the purchase and installation of approximately 12 litter and 12 recycling receptacles in strategic locations in the northeast has been preliminarily approved. This past September, the City submitted an application for the receptacles to LIVE (Lancaster Investment in a Vibrant Economy), who subsequently applied to DCED on our behalf. Once we get final approval, Carol Parrish McCoy, Project admin.,will be working with Mike Devaney, Solid Waste and Recycling Program Manager, on purchase and installation of the streetscape-compliant receptacles, scheduled to take place in the spring.
*Northeast Neighbors Web site coming soon! A domain name has been reserved ( http://www.northeastneighbors.org/) and will be active in the very near future. Carol Parrish McCoy, Project Admin., will be working with the northeast neighborhood revitalization committee on ideas for content. If you have any ideas as to what you would like to see on the site, please let her know.
*We are in need of a "storefront" presence in the community . For the southwest revitalization initiative, we will be taking up Two Dudes Painting on their generous offer of space for a temporary satellite office where we can display the southwest plan. Please let Carol know if you have any ideas for possible northeast locations. We would like to try and stay in the central part of the northeast revitalization area (map of both areas is attached for reference).
*If you haven't already taken a look at the northeast plan, please visit the home page of http://www.cityoflancasterpa.com/. The plan will be available on the new http://www.northeastneighbors.org/ site once it is active. While the goals in the plan won't be implemented overnight, together, with the guidance of the northeast revitalization committee, we will begin working on action steps related to those goals.
