The Good Neighbor Program (GNP) seeks to increase participation in neighborhood improvement activities and projects by creating opportunities in which all residents feel comfortable while learning about themselves, their neighbors and their neighborhoods through a series of educational & self-awareness oriented classes and workshops.
The core of a good neighborhood is the type of relationships established among its neighbors. The first step in building relationships is respecting those next door, down the street and around the corner. While people have their own ideas of a good neighbor, there are some basic guidelines established either through the City’s code and zoning laws or through common courtesies that improve the quality of life in your neighborhood.
