Yesterday we received word of an exciting gathering planned for Tuesday, April 4:
This just in: Neighborhood Forum announced for Tuesday, April 4th.
If you've just tuned in and are wondering why such a forum is necessary, read today's posting at Diggin' in the Dirt:
Public Enemy #1: The Slumlord.
Now, back to the forthcoming forum. Jointly sponsored by three of the city’s neighborhood associations and 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) … to improve the quality of housing and quality of living in New Albany.
It has been observed again and again that because this issue pertains to the fundamental building block of the city’s neighborhoods, it is something that unites residents and overcomes boundaries.
There must be expanded unity and more coherent action at a grassroots level, and this must exist alongside the city’s proper fulfillment of its enforcement obligations. One cannot hope to succeed without the other.
A few days back, we reprinted an anonymous letter from a resident of the West End: NAC is asked: Who'll help clean up the West End?
WOULD YOU PLEASE ASK OUR COUNCILMAN DAN COFFEY TO WORK WITH YOU AS YOU AND YOUR GROUP HELP TO CLEAN UP NEW ALBANY.
Consider it done.
It is hoped that CM Coffey and all the rest of his fellow councilpersons will attend the forum on the 4th and opt for being part of the solution.

At the regular S. Ellen Jones Meeting (Tuesday, March 21) our guest speaker will be Danny Flanigan of New Directions Housing Corporation.
Danny runs the Repair Affair program and will give us an overview of that program as well as discuss other strategies for improving housing quality.
This will be a good primer for the April 4th Forum.
Meeting time is 6:00pm. SEJ Elementary (use entrance at 11th and Culberston).
