The North Hartford Promise Zone...
On April 28, 2015 the City of Hartford was awarded a Promise Zone designation by the Obama Administration
for North Hartford – a 3.11 square mile area encompassing the Clay Arsenal, Northeast and Upper Albany
neighborhoods. The initiative forms a partnership between the federal government and local leaders, to advance neighborhood revitalization and create a safe prosperous future for the community. As a Promise Zone community, the City of Hartford received the following tools to accelerate
revitalization efforts within the North Hartford Promise Zone (NHPZ), including:
-
An opportunity to engage five AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members in the Promise Zone’s work
-
A federal liaison assigned to help designees navigate federal programs
-
Preferences for certain competitive federal grant programs and technical assistance from participating federal agencies
The NHPZ communicates with federal agencies, state officials, and local representatives to discuss community concerns.
