The City’s Good to Great Neighborhood Improvement Program is moving into two new areas.
The new sections include Area #31 (between Goddard, Telegraph, Northline and Beech Daly) and Area #32 (Pardee, Brest, Telegraph and Northline). Earlier this year, the program finished two other sections on the far west side of the community along Inkster Road, just north and south of Goddard.
Good to Great focuses on making enhancements such as general beautification, park improvements, signage, tree trimming, utilities, roads, catch basins, neighborhood businesses, LED lighting, blight removal, sewer maintenance and even public safety.
The goal of the campaign is neighborhood improvement and compliance with local laws. During these efforts the City welcomes comments and concerns. All electronic feedback can be directed to Sam DiCicco at sdicicco@ci.taylor.mi.us. Please title your email “Good to Great Program, Area #31-32.”
As part of this program, the Taylor Police will be holding meet-and-greet sessions with residents. These gatherings will be held at the following dates, times and locations:
- Area 31: 5-6 p.m. October 3 in the Taylor High School parking lot.
