Increasing Curb Appeal and Community Pride
HOME by HOME
BLOCK by BLOCK
Block by Block is a high-impact and and long-term project in which business leaders
engage community members in revitalizing their neighborhoods, one block at a time.
Revitalizing our neighborhoods can be achieved if we are willing to take ownership
of the solution by creating connections and increase the sense of community.

Why Curb Appeal?
“A great first impression starts with curb appeal. Homes and front yards are important in how we show others who we are and what we will become as a community.“
Current Project
We launched our first neighborhood REFRESH in October of 2020 in the Nelson Park neighborhood. We upgraded the curb appeal for two homes. Upgrades included landscaping, painting, guttering and porch repairs.
