The
City of Sanford initiated the Progressive Neighborhoods Program to
provide residents within each neighborhood the ability to address issues that
affect the long-term livability of their neighborhood as well as, strengthen, stabilize,
and protect the neighborhood. Neighborhood
planning is achieved by a community’s efforts to develop a plan, which
has been created to respect the history, character, and unique identity
of the neighborhood, subsequently assisted by the City.
Neighborhood
planning is community driven, with the City providing support to neighborhoods
that come together to develop a desired future for their neighborhood and
create a plan to achieve it. The
plan is based on citizen participation and it will vary with each neighborhood
in terms of organization, content and results.
The residents and property owners of each neighborhood are encouraged
to work together to identify the neighborhood’s concerns, to prioritize
the concerns, and to develop a plan that address the concerns.
Each plan will respect the history, character and unique identity
of the neighborhood.
Anyone wishing to get more information about the neighborhood planning process may contact our Revitalization Planner at City Hall or call 919-775-8240.
