Here is an abbreviated list:

More foot soldiers in the community development effort
Permanent legislation to restrict dollar stores
A working Tree Bank program
Local businesses that support the community and show pride
Stronger code enforcement (more officers!)
People stop littering (and more people help pick up litter)
A pavilion in Hairston Park – finally using the 2017 grant we received
Responsive elected officials and public servants
Passing of necessary amendments to the overlay code

The Greater Hidden Hills Community Development Corporation (GHHCDC) represents dozens of neighborhoods in and around a four-square-mile overlay district.

The public is invited to attend.
