Join South Bronx Unite (SBU) and Design Trust on Saturday, December 2, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, at Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) Bronx (463 E 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10455) to kick off a community asset mapping and planning project that will support the Mott Haven-Port Morris Community Land Trust (CLT) in the South Bronx.
Building on a deep legacy of community organizing roots, Power in Place will make the case for community-prioritized use of land by exploring the potential of the CLT as a model for public space, and by creating a community-driven plan, map, and communication toolkit to achieve community-desired outcomes.
The South Bronx is home to a diverse community of committed residents, activists, artists and thinkers with exceptional resourcefulness and ingenuity who sustained the area through decades of environmental injustice and economic neglect.
Come celebrate the launch of Power in Place: Building Community Wealth and Well-Being in Mott Haven-Port Morris and learn more about how this project will empower people in the South Bronx community.
