The Longfellow Community Council (LCC) is in search of residents, business and commercial property owners and community organization representatives interested in joining a Project Steering Committee (PSC) to help lead the process of creating a rebuild plan for the area affected by the unrest that followed the tragic death of George Floyd.
We hope to assemble a PSC made up of members with a diverse range of viewpoints and skills in order to create a new vision for equitable, sustainable and resilient redevelopment while enhancing public spaces; preserving key community assets; and rebuilding civic, commercial and residential places for the coming years. Desirable skillsets include, but are not limited to:
- Racial Equity Work
- Urban Planning & Development
- Community & Economic Development
- Small Business Ownership & Management
- Environmental Sustainability
- Architecture & Design
Time Commitment: Each Steering Committee Meeting will be 2 hours. You will need to read documents in advance of the meeting which will require additional time from you. There will be six (6) total committee meetings.
You will also be asked to dedicate 8-12 hours of time over six (6) months to plan for and participate in community engagement activities and plan preparation. We recognize that not all members will be able to make the full commitment, but you will automatically resign from the Steering Committee after 3 absences.

Applications are due by September 14th.
