A Citizen's Action Guide to Blight: A Report by the 2016 Jefferson Civic Leadership Academy Cohort
Lunch-and-Learn
During the seven-month-long Civic Leadership Academy, the cohort applied
the lessons learned from the program to a group-action project to address
blight in Erie County. The group created a citizen's action guide to combating
blight, from Erie's downtown to its urban core to its rural borders, and also
participated in a neighborhood cleanup. This presentation will explore that
data and new initiatives, such as a tool-lending library, and copies of the
report will be available to the public.
