Social Services Advisory Board Neighborhood Planning Project Barberton, Buchtel and Lakemore Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide the planning information that was gathered during the neighborhood project meetings in the three areas of Barberton, Buchtel and Lakemore. Within each of these communities, a series of meetings (7-9 meetings in each of the areas) occurred as the first phase from January 2004, through June of 2004. During these six months, goals and areas of concern were identified, assets both internal and external were inventoried, data was collected and geographical boundaries set to further define the neighborhood area. All of which are included in this report. In September 2002, Summit County Executive, James B. McCarthy with oversight by the Social Services Advisory Board, the Summit 2010 Project was initiated to develop a comprehensive health and social service plan to improve the living conditions of Summit County Residents. As the Environmental Scan was completed and areas of concern were identified, the neighborhood planning teams were organized to further identify the neighborhood issues, validate concerns within these areas, organize the assets that exist and determine gaps in service These neighborhood projects were the final initiative under the larger Summit 2010 project that had been on-going previous to beginning the neighborhood work. The final phase for the planning process was to begin identifying the solutions that may best address the problems. This report includes the work group’s thoughts in their own words, the goals to best improve the neighborhood in which they reside and possible action steps. Barberton Goals and that were identified: • Increase resident awareness of services • Improve school attendance and graduation • Reduce under-employment • Improve public transportation • Neighborhood revitalization Buchtel Goals that were identified: • Retain the services of a facilitator for the continued coordination of the Buchtel Cluster 2010 goals. • Identify the existing support systems and resources to promote self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life for the targeted populations. • Develop a partnership with the local schools and community centers to support educational initiatives that benefits the youth and families of the Buchtel Cluster. • Expand on financial and economic literacy programs in the targeted community. 3
