Announcements and Project Updates

FINAL Sulphur Springs Neighborhood Action Plan.

Thank you so, so much to all the residents, business owners, and technical professionals who helped bring this plan to life. The plan was created to identify neighborhood priorities, guide future City work, and support coordination with residents, businesses, and community partners. As the work moves into implementation, this page will continue to share plan documents, project updates, upcoming opportunities, and ways to stay involved.

This Plan serves as a roadmap and reference for future work in the neighborhood to help guide coordination, support funding opportunities, and connect City efforts with community needs and ideas. Use this page to read the final plan, view related project documents, and stay connected as work continues in Sulphur Springs.

Moving from Planning to Action

With the final plan complete, the work is now moving into implementation. This next phase will begin by supporting resident working groups, neighborhood care and cleanup efforts, and additional small business outreach in Sulphur Springs. These efforts are just getting started, and residents, businesses, and community partners are invited to help shape what comes next.

Get Involved

This work is still taking shape, and community input will help guide what happens next.

Residents, businesses, and community partners can sign up to get updates, access resources, join a resident working group, volunteer, or share what they care about.

Sulphur Springs Stewards

Sulphur Springs Stewards is a resident-led effort to help neighbors stay connected, access resources, and take action around shared neighborhood priorities.

The Stewards effort will begin with resident working groups organized around topics such as food access, safe routes, neighborhood care, local businesses, environmental care, and community storytelling.

These topics may continue to grow or change as more residents and partners get involved.

Neighborhood Care and Cleanups

Neighborhood care efforts will focus on supporting cleaner, safer, and more connected shared spaces in Sulphur Springs.

This may include community cleanups, beautification activities, and helping residents stay informed about City services, neighborhood opportunities, and ways to report concerns.
