After the pandemic, it is probably time for us to renew the New Chauncey Neighborhood Association.
The upcoming redistricting in advance of the 2023 city election is an important issue for us,
as we try and maintain New Chauncey as a "community of interest" that should be noted by the city council.
Issues like noise, trash, occupancy, and code enforcement were once discussed on a regular basis with city officials. We need to do that again.
Have we gained anything from the urbanization of Chauncey Village?
I suspect he arrival of "short term rentals" and their regulation would be another likely conversation topic.
We need to be aware of the evolving "West Lafayette Enrichment Corporation", a 501-3c
that could serve as "the Entity" we have often imagined helping to fund neighborhood revitalization.
We need to develop an
organizational structure that can be identified both by our
neighbors and city government.
Toward this end, Jean Sullivan and I have booked "The Bean" in Margerum City Hall for
Tuesday June 14th. at 7:00pm. for a meeting we are calling the "New Chauncey Neighborhood Association Reboot".
We hope to see you there.
