Also on Ashton Greer’s schedule was this past Friday’s special meeting involving Danville neighborhood associations. She says about 30 community leaders attended, looking at how the city can use its resources to serve the associations and keep them healthy.
AUDIO: What I came away with personnally was a really good idea of how I can help moving forward. What programs I can create, and how I can be that liason between the associations and the city; to help them be successful.
Greer says she plans to have meetings of all the neighborhood association leaders bi-annually, along with an annual conference for neighborhood association members.
