The East 12th Community Restoration & Development Forum July 31, 2010

The East 12th Community Restoration & Development Forum
Issue:

The City of Austin & its agencies have not developed Austin 's East 12th St. to accommodate the existing historical residence of the community, but other people's agencies & organizations that were not previously from this community.



Problems:

1.) Skyrocketing property taxes.

2.) The economic (red line) discrepancy in values of property between the west & east sides of IH35.

3.) The sheer lack of effective representation in the City Council & agencies for the historical residence & property owners.



Objective:

To hold quarterly "brainstorm" sessions in order to address the city development of the Austin Eastside, specifically E.12th Street . These sessions will produce a roadmap for restoration and development that will be in the best interest of the historical residence & property owners.



Mission:

1.) To give a voice to the voiceless historical residence & property/business owner in the Eastside community.

2.) To address the ongoing inadequacies occurring with the development/ agenda by the City of Austin agencies.

3.) To submit/create an action plan originating from the historical residence & property owners to the City Council on a predetermined future date.
