Buhl Foundation Community Census 2014
Buhl Foundation Community Census / Survey Includes Troy Hill!
Spread the word!
As you may know, the Buhl Foundation investment plans of potentially $60 million dollars — in the next 10 to 20 years that will benefit our North Side Community, including Troy Hill.
A census team hired by a consultant to the Buhl Foundation will be on the streets of the North Side in the next few weeks to reach as many of the area’s 40,940 residents as possible to help guide foundation investments. Every Troy Hill Home is encouraged to participate, and share their thoughts on community priorities, problems and resources, as well as their vision for creating a better community.
All of us residents are encouraged to participate in this census / survey!
From Jackson Clark, consultants:
“The Northside Community Census is striving to provide an opportunity for every Northsider to give their input on what it will take to build a better future for their community. A team of 15 Northsiders have been hired to reach out to their neighbors and help them to participate in the Community Census survey, thanks to the support of the Buhl Foundation in partnership with nearly 100 organizations, community groups, nonprofits and businesses from across the Northside. Census Team members will be doing outreach door-to-door, at organizations, at events, and with a mailing. Every home is encouraged to participate, and share their thoughts on community priorities, problems and resources, as well as their vision for creating a better community. Survey responses will be kept confidential to respect the privacy of participants. Outcomes from the Northside Community Census survey will be used as the first step in a community-driven planning process to create a Northside vision plan that will guide investment in key community priorities including quality of education, quality of employment, quality of place, safety, transportation and hunger. If you’d like to participate, leave a voice mail message at 412.515.0989, visit the project website at northsideconversation.com, or look for a member of our Census Team – you’ll recognize their distinctive One Northside teeshirts and ID badges. We look forward to your participation.”
Troy Hill Spray Park set to open Memorial Day Weekend.
TROY HILL SPRAY PARK SCHEDULED TO OPEN MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2014
Cool off during hot days (late spring – early fall) at Pittsburgh’s coolest aquatic facilities—”spray parks!”
You don’t need swimming skills to enjoy the spray parks. From the tiniest toddler to a pre-teen adventurer, and even those using wheelchairs, children of all ages and abilities enter with equal enthusiasm
Let your imagination run wild, as movement sensors cause sprayers to magically turn on and off in this three-dimensional world of water. It’s guaranteed to bring back memories of running through sprinklers…but this time with a lot more fun, color
