Flower City Habitat for Humanity is working with the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition and Connected Communities to survey neighborhood residents about potential uses for vacant land in Beechwood.
Potential uses could include parks, community gardens, side yards or driveways for existing housing, or development of additional housing. While inclusion in the study doesn't guarantee a specific future use, getting community input is an important first step.
Volunteer teams will be given clipboards with surveys, maps, parcel information, and tablets to take pictures of the vacant land and surrounding neighborhood. Volunteers will record the results of their observations and discussions with neighbors.
Each shift will meet at the Warfield Square Community Room, 1337 East Main Street, for a brief training. Volunteers will depart in groups for their volunteer shift (options listed when you click volunteer), and then returning to Warfield Square to turn in surveys and enjoy light celebratory refreshments.
