24 Strategy and implementation Plan Overview The Rogers/Eubanks neighborhood center will be the nucleus around which a hub will develop for an area stretching from Homestead to Eubanks. The center's activities will help the area become walkable and city-like in the diversity of the kinds of places residents can access on foot. The existence of the community partnership incubator and the services the center will provide along with judicious and inclusive planning will insure that this area becomes the model for growth without displacement nationwide. Positioning Our community center is the locus of growth through cooperation for the neighborhood now and into the future. It is a place for us to come together to decide how to obtain the resources we need for our own growth, our children's growth and the neighborhood's growth. Sustainability in economic growth has got to mean that we do not waste people: it is not enough that we do not despoil the physical environment. Distribution The center fostered the development of a committee, the Unity in the Community committee, that is continuing the discussions, planning and community events during the absence of the physical center.. Even in the absence of a physical place, we have been able to keep up the cooperative spirit we developed during the time we had a physical center. The existence of the center allowed this kind of cooperative spirit to grow sufficiently strong to live during a hiatus. A physical center is necessary for the spirit of cooperation to thrive and the services planned will insure that cooperation becomes the engine of economic growth. • 12 CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISSEMINATE.
