COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Community outreach for the SNGS project has focused on Community Engagement and an inclusive Neighborhood Campaign providing accurate and thorough information from which residents, property owners, businesses, and stakeholders can base reasoned perspectives.

This outreach effort started at the grassroots level involving one-on-one meetings with community/neighborhood leaders. To effectively interface with the neighborhood, SNGS chose to work with small groups in order to identify and respond to key issues, and to refine a larger outreach approach before addressing the general community. The following describes activities completed to-date; milestones achieved; and, anticipated program-planning features. Community outreach through April, 2008, included:
