Create a coalition of community stakeholders within the Asylum Hill neighborhood. This coalition should combine the public and private sectors, including neighborhood nonprofits and local residents. Develop a visioning process for goals and strategies of the coalition.
Identify consistent funding resources. If none can be identified, develop action plan to raise funding for coalition and subsequent programming. The use of this funding will be three-fold: infrastructure improvement and repair, way-finding signage and communication, and community programming.
Determine leadership structure that will carry out the strategies and goals determined by the coalition. Leadership organization will also be in charge of planning and executing community programming.
Design programming with the goal of creating a space for neighborhood residents and stakeholders to come together, communicate and engage one another in a creative and positive manner. Given the results of our neighborhood interviews, parades and musical events would likely be popular among neighborhood residents.
