Matt Buchanan, a community development planner in St. Joseph, Missouri, sends word that a team is assembling to begin a Better Block project. The event is scheduled for May 4th and 5th at the 700 block of Francis Street. If you’re interested in learning more they’ve setup a facebook page here, and an online volunteer form here. This is a great chance to sign up to help revitalize some beautiful old buildings and restore a downtown to its former prominence.
