MFCDC is a Tool for the Neighborhood: Residents Guide Our Strategic Plan

MFCDC has conducted two years of research to learn the needs and wants of community members.  MFCDC found that citizens shared concerns around three main topics:

         1. Neighborhood residents want more green space and beautification efforts

         2. Neighborhood residents feel disconnected from their neighbors

         3. Neighborhood residents want tools to help them bring change to the community

In response to these concerns, MFCDC developed action steps in our strategic plan.  We made it a priority to develop more green space and to leverage resources to make Mapleton-Fall Creek a more attractive place to live.  To address the resident's feelings of being disconnected, MFCDC is coordinating a community building initiative focused to build relationships among neighbors and to remove the physical barriers between neighbors by transforming vacant and abandoned properties into homes for families to live in.  Lastly, MFCDC is engaging residents in capacity building activities so that they are equiped with the tools to create positive change in the community.
