14 Steps Toward a Sustainable Future in Your Neighborhood

[NEWS RELEASE] The city of Apache Junction has developed 14 projects for residents to promote sustainable efforts as part of a wider community effort.

The 14 project ideas were developed under the Strong Sustainable Community Initiative that encourages residents to participate in promoting sustainable efforts in their neighborhoods. The 14 Steps Toward a Sustainable Future in Your Neighborhood address diverse areas of a better sustainable future. Among the ideas address are safety and openness, a sense of community spirit and pride and a neighborhood that ensures the preservation of the natural environment.

“This program goes beyond the ability to connect with the neighborhoods, it also allows you to connect with your local government,” City Manager Bryant Powell said. “This kind of thing you just can’t put a price on.”

The Strong Sustainable Community Initiative collaborates within the communities to revitalize neighborhoods while creating a viable setting for business investments, enhancing the quality of the build and natural environments, improving social standards and promoting economic vitality.

All residents of the city of Apache Junction who wish to make a positive impact on their neighborhood are eligible to participate.
