Neighborhood Revitalization Project
The St. Mary's University Revitalization Project is a collaboration with our neighbors and the University Park Neighborhood Association focusing on commercial transformation, housing rehabilitation, infrastructure and quality of life improvements.Project Scope
The St. Mary's University Neighborhood Revitalization Project was established in 2007 in response to a call-to-action by University president Charles L. Cotrell, Ph.D., for the University to be more actively involved in community outreach, development and improvement, and to collaborate with our neighbors to revitalize and beautify the areas surrounding the University.
The project's 50-plus members make up the Task Force, and together with neighbors and business proprietors, they focus on revitalizing commercial transformation, housing rehabilitation, and infrastructure and quality of life improvements.
The project is being conducted in phases. Phase 1 includes the geographic area that makes up the University Park Neighborhood Association. Portions of neighborhoods included in Phases 2A and 2B are Jefferson/Woodlawn Lake, Loma Vista and Memorial Heights and in 3A and 3B, Third World, Loma Park and Prospect Hill. Take a closer look at these phase areas on the revitalization map.
