Vision Now The Importance of Neighborhoods

The June Listen Lakeland Show takes a look at the importance of neighborhoods.  When Lakeland Vision refreshed the most recent citizen Vision Document, the #1 priority of this community was Strong and Safe Neighborhoods!  Join host, Sara R. McCarley and her guests, Tim Mitchell, Executive Director of Parker Street Ministries, and Jonathan Rodriguez, Senior Planner at the City of Lakeland/Neighborhood Outreach, as they chat about community involvement, knowing your neighbors and how the neighborhood associations work in a positive way for our community!
