Hello there! Three months of transformation and programming is headed to an empty South Dallas lot at Malcom X Boulevard and Elsie Faye Heggins Street, and we want to hear from YOU!
 
The goal is to re-envision and reimagine an empty lot through a 90 day neighborhood-led placemaking event that will help residents and small business get creative with their public space. This trial will help create a safe, welcoming neighborhood space for all ages and backgrounds and will incorporate the current resident's vision for Malcom X Blvd. Additionally, we hope to test some ideas and get feedback that will be incorporated into the long-term vision for the neighborhood.
 
Together with you, The Better Block Foundation and Child Poverty Action Lab (CPAL) are working to bring your ideas to life and make South Dallas a more vibrant place to live, work, and gather as a community. Please reach out with any questions to Kristin Leiber at kristin@betterblock.org.
