March 2nd, 7PM at city hall: Sustainable neighborhood open house

[Winston Lumpkins]

Hi Folks,

I should likely have forwarded this earlier, however, better late than never! 

Perhaps folks involved with neighborhood groups might be able to use this as an opportunity to make their streets safer?

Good afternoon!

I am reaching out to neighborhood groups in Portland, like PBPAC, because the City is launching a new program that we think you and your members might be interested in.

The Sustainable Neighborhoods Program encourages residents to gather a diverse group of neighbors, identify projects and activities of interest to the neighborhood, and support each other to implement their ideas. Examples of neighborhood projects include organizing a neighborhood street cleanup, Creating a network of neighbors to share tools and lawn equipment, planning a “Bike to Work” Day, or recruiting a team of neighbors to clear snow for Portland residents who are unable to shovel themselves.Only two Portland neighborhoods will be selected to participate in the 2023 pilot program, due to limited resources and our interest in perfecting the program before expanding it citywide. Participating neighborhoods will receive expert guidance and support from Portland’s Office of Sustainability, and will be designated as an official Sustainable Neighborhood upon earning enough credits in the completion of the year-long program. 

To learn more about the program, please visit www.portlandmaine.gov/SustainableNeighborhoods and join us for an Informational Open House on Thursday, March 2, 7:00 PM at City Hall, 389 Congress Street, Kippy Room, Conference Room 24. Residents may also participate remotely and the session will be recorded for later viewing. The program application form will be available starting Friday, March 3; all applications are due by Monday, April 3, 2023. 

We look forward to working with Portland neighborhoods to strengthen their social resilience. Together we can make our communities safer, healthier, and sustainable for all.

Please reach out to me with any questions! Would be happy to chat more!!

Sincerely,

Katie Tims

City of Portland, Office of Sustainability
