Project Overview
About Forward Together
The City of Sacramento’s Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT) is starting a plan to revitalize Marysville – Del Paso Blvd and surrounding neighborhoods while benefiting existing residents and businesses. We are looking to partner with residents, business owners, landowners, and organizations as we look for ways to strengthen the corridor as a vital core for the local neighborhoods and increase the local community’s ownership of housing, land, businesses, and investments.
Schedule
COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
A 13-member advisory group consisting of residents, business owners, and other long-term district stakeholders was established to guide the project and keep the consultants and City accountable to delivering impact. The Committee met various times since the group first met in June 2022 and continue to be the driving force of the project, ensuring an equitable and results driven approach throughout.
MEETING AGENDA AND PRESENTATION DECKS
The Committee held six official meetings in 2022 to drive toward a final action plan and setup implementation.
PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Since project launch, the consultant team delivered an inclusive and relationship-based approach to outreach and engagement. In September, an anti-displacement listening session was executed in an effort to share data and talk through strategies to preserve existing residents and businesses, while promoting revitalization.
In addition to holding topic-specific meetings, the project team visited businesses door-to-door by walking the corridor, attended various organizations meetings, distributed a community and business questionnaire that yielded over 200 responses, and setup a booth at one of the biggest events of the year - Harvest Festival in October. Where appropriate, Community Input Boards were available to solicit stakeholder input and feedback.
