The Future of Venable Street
10/18/2009 9:54 AM by John M
The Union Hill Civic Association will be hosting The Future of Venable Street, a “neighborhood social and civic discussion” this Wednesday, October 21, at 7PM at 2241 Venable Street:
At the last meeting of the UHCA, we recognized the need to spend the next year focusing our efforts on the renewal and revitalization of Venable Street in Union Hill. Whether you live on Venable or not, the revitalization of that corridor is instrumental to securing the safety and well-being of our entire neighborhood. […] Please plan to attend and share your best ideas as we chart a course for the future of Venable Street.
My name is Chip Dandridge. I am the outreach director at Hanover Church of The Nazarene. God has given us a vision of restoration and revitalization of church hill. We are in need of a building if anyone knows of one please tell me. Also I want to be a part of this year long endeavor. Please contact me I don’t know who to get in touch with to get involved. Please email me at Chip@Hanoverlife.com
Thanks,

Chip, I will let someone from the Union Hill organization tell you who to contact. However, I have a question – how big and what sort of building are you looking for? A residential or commercial structure? And where, specifically, or does it just need to be in the Church Hill area in general? Thanks.
@Chip, we welcome the input and assistance of anyone who shares our concern for the safety and well-being of the neighborhood and its residents. The revitalization of the commercial buildings along Venable into viable, community-focused businesses is one of our Association’s top priorities. If your church is interested in helping with that, I would be happy to show you a few possibilities. I will email you directly at the address you provided.
Wow! What a great group of folks and ideas at tonight’s meeting. I can’t remember a Union Hill meeting that was so well attended and energetic. Venable Street is now the center of the universe.”
it would need to be comercial and anywhere in churchhill also we have a very small budget
Exactly 888 days after this meeting at which the residents identified their desire to beautify Venable with new tree wells and street trees, the City began installing them this morning! The wheels turn slow but certain!!
