The goal of Arlington's Strong
Neighborhood Initiative is to reinvigorate
Arlington’s neighborhoods and ensure sustainability by leveraging
resources, increasing citizen participation and encouraging
community stakeholder collaborations.
Arlington’s
Strong Neighborhood Initiative (ASNI) relies on strategic alliances
and partnerships that capitalize on the influences of collaborative
efforts. Emphasis of the initiative focuses on mobilizing citizens
for dialogue, deliberations, and collaborative problem solving.
The success of ASNI involves paradigm shifts, training of our
employees and restructuring departments in order to collaborate more
effectively with citizens and community organizations.
Development of ASNI will include many partners. A great
opportunity, as well as a need to collaborate with various
departments from the University of Texas at Arlington and other
educational institutions is important.
