HRA was notified that we have been approved for a Phase III Neighborhood Investment Grant from the City of Shreveport's Department of Community Development. We are still waiting to receive our contract and meet with department officials to finalize the grant.
Our proposal targeted the following projects: a Health Fair at Highland Center in September; a neighborhood clean-up in the fall; Clean Team project and picnic in August with Shreveport-Bossier Community Development to help neighborhood schools with classroom supplies; Adopt-a-Park for additional beautification projects at Columbia Park; and a Highland Historic District program that also celebrates HRA's 30 years of service in Highland.
These are ambitious plans. We will need the help of our HRA members and other Highland residents to make them reality. Watch this space for additional information as we develop our plans.
