PROJECT 76
ABOUT PROJECT 76
Project 76 is dedicated to developing a comprehensive 50-year strategy that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of our White Center community. This year, participants will engage in community information circles to collaboratively shape the future. Together, as organizations and neighbors, we will address essential questions: How much did we accomplish? How effectively did we execute our plans? And most importantly, is anyone better off as a result? Your involvement is vital as we navigate these pivotal discussions for our community’s future.

Community Information Circle (CIC)
A 2 hour community conversation group where community members will tell the story behind the information they see!
Numbers do not tell the whole story but their lived experiences completes the story. Building upon these collective stories and information, White Center neighbors and organizations will decide on the solutions and action plans for Project 76.
Sample Questions to Ponder:
-
What do we want? How will we recognize it?
-
What will it take to get there?
-
What do families and neighbors need to be co-decision makers?
Time Frame: Program runs Sept 2026 to Oct 2026
Commitment: 2 Hour Meetings per Workshop
Location: Location rotates between our partners

I would like to be connected to
groups that are working to
improve the business district,
attract amenities, and to
opportunities for people to take
action to make improvements in
the neighborhood.

More affordable housing and ways to do repairs/renovations at affordable pricing so houses aren't bought and flipped then gentrifying the community.

I am ambivalent about police presence and what it represents for communities of color, but the people committing crimes are emboldened in WC. Open air drug dealers, shootings and robbery needs to be
discouraged visibly.
