The Salem Point Neighborhood Vision and Action Plan outlines a vision to improve the quality of life in the Point neighborhood and an action agenda that the City of Salem and community partners will work together to implement over a seven-year period from 2013-2020. 

The Plan is a product of a year-long grassroots, neighborhood-level visioning process where city officials and community leaders, residents, students, service providers, property owners, and others engaged in a series of conversations to consider practical approaches for building upon the assets of the Point and making it an even better place to live, work, study, and visit.

“I am very excited to share details with the Point neighborhood about how the City and its partners will implement this valuable plan,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll.

Attendees of the neighborhood launch party are able to meet with officials from the city as well as with partners who helped to create the Plan and who will be key in implementing its action items. They can also participate in table discussions about Plan elements and interactive art-based activities.  Partners who worked on the Plan and who will be implementing its action items are on-hand to discuss relevant topic such as job training opportunities, small business development training opportunities, leadership development programming, and improvements to neighborhood parks.
