Part of the process of submitting a HOPE VI application is to hold a series of community meetings. This provides an opportunity to present the concept of the application to all stakeholders: residents, businesses, the faith-based community, community-based organizations, political leaders, and other interested parties such as civic associations in and around the neighborhood being impacted by the HOPE VI revitalization. The dates for the community meetings or charettes for this application are as follows:
Thursday, September 23rd at 6:00PM
Thursday, September 30th at 6:00PM
Tuesday, October 12th at 6:00PM
Thursday, October 21st at 6:00PM
Thursday, October 28th at 6:00PM
Thursday, NOvember 4th at 6:00PM
The Thursday, September 23rd charette will be a large affair, complete with a sit-down meal and every effort is being made to have special guests to address the gathering that evening. Each charette is critical however, and while it is not necessary to attend every one, it is recommended that each of you attempt to attend at least two charettes out of the six that are scheduled.
As always, the charettes will be held at the Kingswood Community Center, located at 2300 Bowers Street in Wilmington, Delaware.
More details to come in future posts.
