Dear Prospect Park resident,
You have an opportunity to vote on how $59,527 will be spent. Our neighborhood is approaching the end of implementation for the first phase of the Prospect Park East River Road Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) Action Plan, passed in 1995. Part of the process of implementation includes a periodic review of where the neighborhood is and what can still be accomplished with First Phase NRP funds. The Prospect Park East River Road Improvement Association (PPERRIA), as fiscal agent for the Prospect Park NRP, has designated a task force to look closely at the Plan, strategy by strategy, to determine how the remaining funds will be used. This group asked neighborhood committees and groups which oversee these funds to propose how remaining funds will be spent and to indicate what funds might better be spent in other strategies (i.e., be reallocated). On Tuesday, January 9, 2001, many of your neighbors attended a meeting to review the proposals and to offer other ideas for available funds.
NRP process mandates that any proposals for changing the NRP Action Plan (Plan Modification) for amounts greater than $25,000 must receive broad and timely notice. The neighborhood can only vote now on the proposals brought forward at the January meeting. As chair of the NRP Phase I Review Task Force, I urge you to review the attached plan modification proposal choices. On Tuesday, February 27, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. at Luxton Park Building, room A, there will be a second meeting to consider these proposals and vote on a plan modification. You are invited to come to this meeting and vote on the proposals, whether or not you attended the January 9 discussion meeting.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our NRP Implementation Coordinator Susan Gottlieb at 331-2104 or me at 331-8819.
Best regards,
Susan Larson-Fleming
Chair, NRP Phase I Review Task Force
