Carver Community Workshop Series
If you live in the Carver neighborhood, listen up! Here's your chance to speak up for how you'd like to see your community develop.  The Storefront for Community Design will hold three community workshops in the Carver neighborhood in March and April 2012. The purpose of the Carver Workshop series is to define and illustrate the neighborhood's vision for the future.  Property owners and residents are all encouraged to attend these workshops.  The result of the Storefront workshop series will be a Carver community statement, which will influence future development proposals and infrastructure improvements.  Materials related to the Carver Workshop, including maps and workshop notes, will be available for community review at Storefront during regular business hours (Monday - Thursday, 2-6 pm) from March 24 until April 30, 2012.
