GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS

Obtaining a historic designation for the original portion of Goodyear Heights will benefit the whole neighborhood—and a listing on the National Register of Historic Places is an important step we can take to protect and preserve this area and begin the process of improvement. A critical part of this process involves you—the people who live and work in Goodyear Heights. We need your input and your support so we can demonstrate to our local and state governments that we care about the neighborhood and its future, and that we believe that it deserves to be recognized in this important way.

We understand that residents have questions, too—and we want to be open about the process, what it means for home and business owners, and how this project can have a positive impact on Goodyear Heights over the long term. We also want to hear about your overall vision for the neighborhood; we want to know how you see it today and what you would like to see in the future. We’ll explain the benefits that historic designation and a National Register listing can offer, and explain how the process works.

The benefits include:

Recognition of neighborhood’s historic significance at city, state and federal government levels

A prestigious and honorific designation that will promote housing investment, stabilize and preserve property values

No restrictions or requirements for residents in terms of home repairs, maintenance or improvement

Improves neighborhood’s ability to attract investment and funding from public and private resources, including grants for improvement projects

IN ORDER TO BUILD COMMUNITY SUPPORT, WE ARE HAVING A SERIES OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO EXPLAIN THE PROJECT, THE PROCESS AND HOW YOU CAN HELP.
