We attended the Salisbury City Council Meeting last Tuesday June 17th. The City announced that we have been honored with being selected to receive a Fit Community Grant! What does this mean to Old North Salisbury? The funds will be utilized to create a new crosswalk at N. Main St. and Miller St. that will lead to a proposed new sidewalk on Miller St. that will lead to City Park and beyond to Hurley Park! A new walking program will be instituted at the City Park Recreation Center in conjunction with these improvements! The whole project will connect to the Salisbury Greenway and then, if you are ambitious, back to North Main. This is a huge step towards the area improvement plan initially approved by the City last summer.
We made our pitch for ordinance enforcement and think it was well received. We learned that the City is undergoing some restructuring in their ordinance enforcement department and that more funds will be aligned in that direction. We look forward to getting some support in our neighborhoods!
The Old North Salisbury Assoc. Board of Directors meets this coming Tuesday June 24th. The agenda includes a variety of topics: Neighborhood events such as a neighborhood meeting and/or social event, a historic house plaque program, a neighborhood flag program, perhaps even a neighborhood garage sale or block party! We will talk about the relatively large size of the neighborhood and the possibility of dividing it into mini-neighborhoods with block captains who can more clearly focus on the particular needs of YOUR neighborhood, which may be unique to your immediate area. Your input is always welcome!
We'll see you soon!
