UNC Members, supporters and neighbors:
Please mark your calendars and make every effort to attend the 46th Ward Zoning Committee meeting this Saturday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Truman College. A flyer for the event can be found here.
Your attendance at this meeting is critical to show the Alderman that we want zoning in the 46th Ward that will promote retail development, the arts, and entertainment in the ward. Zoning is critical to proper urban planning, and by showing our strength, we can work to prevent zoning disasters like Wilson Yard from happening again.
It's that time of year to come out and get your neighborhood looking good! Many local Uptown Block Clubs will be hosting events that clean up the litter and get local gardens ready for summer.
