Neighborhood Plan

Community plans provide goals and policies for neighborhoods intended to guide the development of a community with great detail. They often include long range visions, goals, policies and strategies for achieving social, economic and environmental sustainability within a community in order to guide future community development. Ideally, the planning process includes engagement of the affected community. Plans can delineate the location, density and type of housing, commercial development, industrial, public facilities, transportation, schools, and open spaces. Plans may provide implementation strategies including proposed funding sources, but they do not serve as a promise for development.

Priorities.

In 2021, the Executive Board began working with residents and community leaders on a Grove Park Action Plan, which is designed to frame and guide our work for 2022 and beyond. The Action Plan draft pulls from the work performed by the Westside Park Equitable Development Task Force and identifies the areas most important to Grove Park residents, which fall into four categories: housing, transportation, economic mobility and quality of life. GPNA is working towards housing affordability and anti-displacement, support to preserve the small businesses along the DLH corridor, pedestrian safety, access to the park for our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods south of the park, and community engagement so we can ensure we are reaching all our neighbors.
