Indian Mound Neighborhood Quality of Life Planning Project
Project Description:
The Quality of Life Planning project in Kansas Citys Indian Mound neighborhood will convene community leaders, residents, and other stakeholders to examine issues and explore solutions for the neighborhoods improvement in a comprehensive manner. This process will result in an action-oriented plan for the revitalization of the area in a manner consistent with the aspirations and perceived needs of its residents. A steering team will act as an advisory committee for the project.
An initial study will be conducted to examine issues and perceived needs of the Indian Mound neighborhood as well as the existing community resources and the collaborative relationships that exist among agencies. This assessment will help to drive the remainder of the Quality of Life Planning process. The planning process will involve garnering civic engagement, convening community stakeholders, facilitating resident and stakeholder discussions, developing community rejuvenation plans that include initiatives, strategies, and indicators.
