2024 Dillehay Courts Choice Neighborhood Grant Community Engagement

Background

The City of Charlotte, in partnership with Inlivian and HDP, is leveraging the Choice Neighborhoods grant opportunity to support the redevelopment of Dillehay Courts. This effort will include a series of events and engagement efforts. The Choice Neighborhoods planning team will host an in person kick off event and launch a resident survey of all former Dillehay Court residents and community members. There will also be a visioning phase, design phase and educational programming along the way.

What We Did

Civility Localized crafted the resident survey that was so important to understanding the desires of the community.

There are three infrastructure projects that will be implemented in the revitalized Dillehay Courts and Civility Localized solicited feedback from the community on what they will look like.

Civility Localized organized and facilitated a community-friendly workshop series complete with refreshments, prize packs, raffles, conversation, question and answer sessions, and guided discussion. Presentations, flyers, printed materials, social media, and more were all designed and provided by Civility Localized team to make these events a success.

Civility Localized also tabled at pop-up events in the community to increase awareness for this project and to increase equity of the engagement process.
