~ Rochester Mayor Malik D. Evans has announced the launch of a new community engagement program, Neighbors In Action (NIA). The program aims to empower residents to come together and take purposeful action towards strengthening and improving their neighborhoods.
NIA is based on the successful Neighbors Building Neighborhoods (NBN) initiative, which was started in 1996 by former Rochester Mayor William A. Johnson Jr. NBN was recognized nationally as a model for government and civic partnerships, inspiring and supporting hundreds of projects across the city, from beautification initiatives to enhanced public safety.
According to Mayor Evans, the idea for NIA has been in the works since before he took office. He believes that strengthening neighborhoods starts with residents coming together and taking action where they live. By creating a collective purpose and fostering community pride, NIA aims to enable residents to improve their surroundings, share their aspirations, and contribute to the overall progress of the city.

As part of the NIA initiative, residents and neighborhood organizations will have access to City resources and small grants to support community-driven projects. To ensure that the program meets the needs of all communities in Rochester, the City is seeking input from community members through a survey and four in-person public meetings.
The NIA Community Input Meetings will be held at various locations throughout October. The first meeting will take place on Thursday, October 10th at Thomas P. Ryan R-Center on 530 Webster Ave from 5:30-7 p.m. Other meetings include Tuesday, October 15th at Arnett Branch Library on 310 Arnett Blvd from 5:30-5:45 p.m., Thursday, October 17th at David F. Gantt R-Center on 700 North St from 5:30-7 p.m., and Tuesday, October 22nd at Edgerton R-Center Stardust Ballroom on 41 Backus St from 5:30-7 p.m.
Residents can also learn more about NIA and take the survey by visiting the City of Rochester's website at www.CityofRochester.gov/NIA. Mayor Evans encourages all community members to participate in shaping this new program and making a positive impact in their neighborhoods.
