Southside Big Idea*<br />

Infrastructure Project<br />

Southside Community Center<br />

#2<br />

The Danville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and partners are working to address the shortage <strong>of</strong><br />

community recreational spaces in the Southside neighborhood. Young people—around half <strong>of</strong> whom live<br />

below the poverty line—could benefit from such a space in the heart <strong>of</strong> their neighborhood as a “home<br />

base” <strong>for</strong> meeting and hanging out. This multipurpose center could be developed to include play spaces <strong>for</strong><br />

athletic competitions and neighborhood events and rented <strong>for</strong> large gatherings such as family reunions and<br />

community meetings.<br />

*<br />

Big Ideas are intended to spark discussion and create excitement about potential within the <strong>Opportunity</strong><br />

<strong>Neighborhoods</strong>. These projects and programs are aspirational, with some further along than others. The hope<br />

is that they can help residents reimagine their spaces, consider sustainable ways to advance neighborhood<br />

goals, and inspire tangible ways to focus energies and bring Big Ideas to life.<br />
