Community Profile. The City of Garden Grove is located in central Orange County approximately twenty-five miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. With a population of approximately 176,277, it is the fifth largest city in Orange County and the twenty-eighth largest in the State of California. The City incorporated on June 18, 1956. The City spans an area of 17.9 square miles and is a general law city in the State of California. It has a Council-Manager form of government. On May 10, 2016, the City of Garden Grove adopted Ordinance No. 2866 changing the City’s at-large system of electing City Council Members to a By-District Election system and established the boundary lines of the six districts. While the Mayor continues to be elected at-large for a two-year term, the six City Council members are elected by districts for four-year staggered terms. The City Council engages the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager has the responsibility for hiring the department heads and for administering the City's programs in accordance with the policies adopted by the City Council. Garden Grove is a full service city. The services provided by the City include police, paramedic, street maintenance, park maintenance, water, sewer, refuse, recreation, traffic/transportation, public improvements, planning, zoning, and general administrative services. Effective August 16, 2019, the City contracted with Orange County Fire Authority to provide fire protection and paramedic services. Therefore, the Fire portion of the City’s Safety non-pooled plan became a closed plan effective August 16, 2019. The City currently internally manages the investment of its posted portfolio, which as of February 29, 2020 totaled approximately $207 million excluding funds invested in the State’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and with fiscal agents. The City has invested approximately $55 million in LAIF to meet the City’s liquidity needs. The City has two approved brokers from which securities are purchased. A most recent copy of the City’s Investment Report for February 2020 can be found in Appendix “C”.
Community Profile. The Site is located in the City of Battle (the City), which is the largest city in Calhoun County (County). Battle Creek, known as Cereal City, is located in the southern portion of Lower Michigan, approximately half-way between Chicago and Detroit. The City began developing in the late 1800s when railroads allowed manufacturing companies to ship their industrial and agricultural products all over the country. Around this time, Xx. Xxxxxxx developed a ready-to- eat breakfast food made of baked wheat kernels. A few years later, a former patient C.W. Post developed Grape Nuts cereal. The idea caught on, inspiring a “cereal boom” and a subsequent manufacturing boom in the City. In the past 20 years, Battle Creek’s economy has been hit hard by the out-sourcing of manufacturing jobs. A 2019 Housing and Community Development Ecosystem Assessment identifies Battle Creek as a small “legacy city”. These legacy cities are cities across the rust belt and New England states that once had thriving manufacturing-based economies that created good job opportunities, a solid middle-class lifestyle, and vibrant communities. These legacy cities have subsequently struggled with poverty, neighborhood disinvestment, and a labor force that does not match employer needs. Battle Creek, with help from the County and various economic development groups, has focused on revitalizing its downtown core. A component of this revitalization is addressing the entry corridor sites that serve to connect the urban core to the surrounding neighborhoods and act to bring visitors and residents into the downtown. The Site is located in the Elm Street Gateway target area, which is one of the City’s downtown entry corridors. This 0.15 square-mile area is located on the southeast side of the downtown district along the main east-west road (Michigan Avenue) that runs through downtown Battle Creek. The target area is surrounded by the Battle Creek River as well as municipal government buildings, single family housing and light industrial operations.

Community Profile. The team will work with City staff to complete a thorough inventory and analysis of existing conditions and emerging trends in demographics, employment, housing, land use, transportation, schools, and other relevant topic areas (building on data and information gathered by staff to date) that helps to inform the Comprehensive Plan process. Our approach to this type of analysis on our planning projects is to prepare a concise “Community Profile” that summarizes key facts, figures, and other technical information in a highly graphic, easily digestible format—generally no more than 1-2 pages per topic area. We find this “Cliffs Notes” approach to be useful in provoking interest and discussion during the process. The profile will draw from and incorporate key information generated in Tasks 2.2-2.4.
Community Profile. The project area population displays great ethnic and cultural diversity. The communities most directly affected by the Trillium Nature Sanctuary Project are the North End and Xxxxx/Xxxxxx Neighborhoods. These neighborhoods have become increasingly diverse over the past 20 years. From 1990 to 2000, the white population dropped from 75% to 55% in the North End Neighborhood and from 82% to 49% in the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Neighborhood. Blacks comprise between 11% and 15% percent, Asian (predominantly Hmong) between 18% and 24% of surrounding neighborhood populations and Hispanics up to 11% of the project neighborhood population. Approximately 75% of public school children in this neighborhood are children of color (2000 Census). The community has a rich immigrant population as well: 26-35% of all residents and between 44 and 51% of the public school children speak a language other 1 The analysis was conducted for a sample taken from the location in the boring with the highest organic vapor content or where staining or odors were encountered. Therefore, test results are likely biased toward the higher end of the contamination range for each location and does not reflect an average contaminant concentration. than English as their primary language at home with Asian languages and Spanish the most common. Furthermore, the area displays a greater of poverty than on average for either the City or the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region. Two Family Public Housing Developments (Mount Airy and XxXxxxxxx Homes), comprising a total of 879 family units, are located within a mile radius of the Nature Sanctuary; additional Public Housing Scattered Sites are located within this same radius.
Community Profile. Northwestern Oregon supports a population of approximately 170,000 (4% of Oregon’s total population) primarily concentrated in rural communities of less than 10,000. The region holds abundant natural resources, creating opportunities for recreation and employment, but also plagued by the growing impacts of climate change. In addition to the challenges of climate change, real or perceived environmental impacts from brownfields in our area are deterring developers from moving forward with redevelopment projects that will have a catalytic impact on our community. Cleaning up and redeveloping brownfields in the ColPac region is paramount to the health and welfare of residents, and to building a stable, greener economy. Fishing, food production, and timber have been the primary drivers of the regional economy for the last century. All of these sectors are climate dependent. The Fifth Oregon Climate Assessment, a report issued by the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (2021) warns that extreme weather, natural disasters (floods and wildfires), and marine hazards (potential tsunamis) have increased in number and severity, resulting in significant impacts to residents, including health, displacement, and income loss. Without intervention, these threats are expected to worsen. Flooding from extreme rain events and sea level rise can exacerbate the environmental impacts from brownfields by spreading hazardous materials and contaminated soil across our communities. In addition to the challenges of climate change, real or perceived environmental impacts from brownfields in our area are deterring developers from moving forward with redevelopment projects that will have a catalytic impact on our community. Cleaning up and redeveloping brownfields in the ColPac region is paramount to the health and welfare of residents, and to building a stable, greener economy.
Community Profile. The City of Texarkana is a community of approximately 38,000 people located in Bowie County, Texas and is a twin city with the neighboring Texarkana, Arkansas. Texarkana is a regional center for employment, health care, and education. The retail and services trade area encompasses a 17-county area in parts of three states, and the workforce is drawn from a 60-mile radius. The City and surrounding region are home to a number of industrial and manufacturing operations, including tire manufacturing, small arms ammunition, paper production, railroad tank car repair, cup and carton manufacturing, pipeline fittings, truck bodies, furniture, valves and couplings, military equipment repair and refurbishing, trucking, and petroleum marketing. The City’s location with the prospect of three interstate highways should contribute to the City’s future growth and development. Socioeconomic data indicates the following: Median Age: 37 years old Median Family Income: $39,000 Population Growth: 0.45% White Population: 55% Black Population: 37% Hispanic Population: 6.4% Other or Multiple Race: 2.6% Reports have shown that families in Texarkana seem to be consolidating, relying on income from multiple individuals per household. The most common housing problems in Texarkana are cost burden problems where renters and owners have housing costs that exceed 30% of household income. The Downtown area presents substantial opportunities to impact low and moderate income persons by addressing Brownfields (a former industrial or commercial site where future use is affected by real or perceived environmental contamination) issues and environmental contamination, slum and blight, food desert status, safety issues like inadequate roadways, inadequate lighting, stormwater run-off, flood management, lack of storm shelters, few bike lanes/walking trails, as well as food security issues like access to a functional sheltered farmers' market, community gardens, all public improvements requested by citizens of Texarkana. The City of Texarkana is dedicated to improving the downtown living environment and have dedicated resources to several community development programs including downtown and brownfields revitalization plans, affordable housing through the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program, and a proposed Xxxxx Theatre restoration and Art Park.
Community Profile. Developer shall create a detailed profile of the impacted community—including their social, economic, and cultural characteristics. Examples of economic and cultural mapping include identifying local infrastructure; houses of worship; organizations representing residents, businesses, environmental justice, and underserved communities; Tribes; emergency responders; local economic development boards; community foundations and United Ways; national and state civil rights and fair housing organizations with local affiliates; community and technical colleges; first responders; and other community-based organizations. Accounts of environmental justice concerns and historical accounts of significant community incidents can be useful resources. Consider the core values of the identified stakeholders and the existing impacts on local health including areas impacted by air, water, and land pollution.
