White House Center, 222 Pearl Street (Downtown New Albany)

The forum is open to all!

Sponsored by:

Silver Grove Neighborhood Association
Develop New Albany

This forum is to discuss where the City and our neighborhoods are and where we need to go!

The forum will be to develop specific objectives and strategies that contribute to accomplishing the goal(s).

For example, how will we know that housing quality is improved? Has the number of blighted properties decreased? What’s the total number of blighted properties today? Is there a positive trend? How many homes have been rehabbed with CDBG or private funds? How many homes listed on www.HistoricNewAlbany.com were sold? How many building code citations were written last month? Last six months? Last year? How many were resolved successfully? What about workshops from local banks to review loan programs available for remodeling/rehabbing/purchasing homes?

Do we need to establish City Court for speed code enforcement process?

Do we need to Increase the staffing of the City Legal department?

This is a City wide problem. Put in your 2 cents worth – To Improve the Quality of Housing and Quality of Living in New Albany.

For more information, please contact Greg Roberts or Ted Fulmore.

Yes -- I've added "open to all" above, in red.

Shall we begin collecting RSVP's from our councilpersons?
