Community Building: Empowering residents to participate civically
Support Resident-led Activities
MFCDC wants residents to feel empowered to improve their quality of life and physical environment. We recognize, value, and promote resident-led activities and support them in working hand-in-hand with public, nonprofit, and private institutions. By doing so, we are able to strengthen and leverage positive community change in our community.
Get to Know Your Neighbor
MFCDC works to strengthen relationships among neighbors, community organizations, and businesses by organizing activities that encourage connections. These activities include: business networking breakfasts, annual meetings, neighborhood festivals, volunteer projects, and more!
Community Input Sessions
It is MFCDC’s goal to engage our residents directly in the planning and development of the Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood. To ensure this meaningful participation, leadership and ownership of revitalization efforts, MFCDC conducts Community Input Sessions. During these meetings, MFCDC gathers important input from MFC residents about what they want and need in the neighborhood that will directly influence our development strategy.
Develop Partnerships for Capacity Building
MFCDC partners with external resources to bring educational opportunities into the neighborhood. We do this by developing workshops and community forums around residents’ topics of interest. Some past workshop topics include: backyard conservation, wildlife habitats, rain barrel construction, and homeownership finances.
