mrfootball Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Renaissance 1960 will launch May 24Community based intiative will tackle issuesBy KIM JACKSONCopyright 2007 Houston Chronicle The Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce, 1960 Improvement Corp., 1960 Area Community Alliance and other community organizations will launch the "Renaissance 1960" community-based initiative with a Community Development Leadership Workshop 4:30-6 p.m. May 24 at the Harris County Barbara Bush Library's Elliott meeting room, 6817 Cypresswood Drive.The purpose, said Barbara Thomason, Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce president, is to bring together residents, leaders of religious and community organizations, and business and property owners to develop a core group of leaders focused on identifying issues affecting the area. The focus would be on finding workable solutions to those problems."It will not require a huge time commitment and could have a huge pay-off," Thomason said.....Thomason said community groups would continue to gauge community interest in pursuing management district legislation, but some issues and projects needed immediate attention."Renaissance 1960" could focus on those......Also, Thomason said, Houston Northwest Medical Center officials and surrounding business and property owners have requested help in revitalizing the section of FM 1960 near Interstate 45.Larry Lipton, chairman of the 1960 Area Community Alliance, said the key to success for "Renaissance 1960" is broad-based community discussion and participation.......For more information, contact Thomason at barbarat@houstonnwchamber.org or 281-440-4160.Link to Chronicle article Edited May 18, 2007 by Subdude Link added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasArchitect Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 To all you unincorporated northwesterners, I received this in an e-mail: this is good and a great opp. for those to say something. it's unfortunate that parts of 1960 is going downhill. especially off of 45 and that place called "night movess" lol. plus that signs that shows a wrecked car and states how many deaths have happened on 1960 due to drunk drivers doesn't make it any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
