SOUTHERN GATEWAY PARK COMMUNITY GATHERING
N early 100 residents, community activists, political advisors and business leaders attended the Southern Gateway Park Community Meeting last month. JBJ Management coordinated the outreach which centered around the most important aspect of the project, the community members and leaders of Southern Dallas. “We wanted to ensure we could address questions and concerns, describe the progress that has already been made, and provide residents a vision for the future of the park.” said Brenna Wriston, Senior Vice President Government Relations and Non-profit Initiatives. City and state government officials and community leaders from local non-profits and associations were also engaged, giving the Southern Gateway Park leadership team the opportunity to connect with local community leaders, who will in turn share the information and updates on the park with their members, neighbors and friends. Multiple administrators and students from local schools also joined the meeting. Finally, we focused on engaging with the residents who work, live, play and worship in the neighborhood. Event flyers and information were also shared with neighboring apartment complexes and other businesses. Local community members asked engaging questions and left informed and excited about the future of the park.
