The
SPIA leveraged its involvement in community affairs, including local
planning and zoning efforts, to conduct a community design charrette and
follow-on design meetings. It tapped membership expertise in web
surveys and social media to extend outreach. As the project scope
broadened to include a full master plan, the SPIA solicited and vetted
proposals from qualified local professionals. The SPIA used Association
funds to pay for the Master Plan and subsequent Arborist Survey as a
seed investment. In parallel, Association members lobbied effectively to
have South Park added as a named park in the up-coming Parks bond.
