SBCP Kickoff Success!
On March 26, 2024 volunteer leaders representing eight communities as well as multiple concerned citizens, area leaders, and public servants gathered in support of the formation of the South Belt Community Partnership (SBCP).
The 2.5-hour long kickoff generally established the limits of the newly defined area called the South Belt, as well as discussed the many unique attributes and ubiquitous problems of the area. Much of the presentation built the case for why such a Partnership must exist; Namely to provide a more formidable foundation by which community leaders can address concerns identified across the area. Such concerns are out of the jurisdiction of each individual community but, are witnessed daily by the residents of the South Belt.
The newly formed organization with it’s new leadership in place, engaged in reviewing and later accepting versions of the mission and vision statements presented. These statements will serve to drive the overall direction of the organization. The Partnership’s new leadership team include community leaders from Clear Brook Meadows, Kirkwood, Lake at Golfcrest, Riverstone Ranch, Sageglen, Sagemeadow, Sagemont, and Sagemont Park.
