Creating Better Community Spaces Together

But i’ve been thinking about how essential it’s for us to engage residents in maintaining our common areas. Last Saturday, a small group came out for a cleanup day, and it was a great way to connect and share ideas for future improvements. How are others in the community getting residents involved in maintaining and enhancing shared spaces?

I totally agree that engaging residents is key! In my experience, organizing seasonal potlucks right after cleanup days encourages more participation. Have you thought about adding a fun twist to your next cleanup to keep the momentum going?
