Community Meeting (May): Draft Plan

On May 29th, our 5th Community Planning Meeting was held in Lafayette “Nanny Goat” Park, drawing approximately 45 participants. Attendees included Greene Homes residents, along with other community members who live or work in The Hollow and visitors who were walking by. The meeting provided an opportunity for participants to review the Draft Plan’s strategies and projects for People, Housing and Neighborhood, as well as to engage in discussions, share insights, and contribute to bring The Hollow Choice Neighborhood Transformation's Plan to the finish line.

The goals of this meeting were to:

• Review the Draft Plan goals, strategies and projects on the three elements: Neighborhood, Housing and People

• Review updates on the Early Action Activities and get residents involved in art workshops led by the Bridgeport Arts & Cultural Council (BACC) to beautify the Hollow and the Greene Homes.

The community enjoyed some refreshments, creative activities, and meeting with neighbors with joyful tunes by DJ JB (Hip Hop 1001) in the background on a beautiful Thursday afternoon.

We look forward to activating this amazing community space again for our final community meeting on August 21, 2025.
