Support for park improvement and dog park in Newport's Westside by Monday, May 27th

To our friends in the Licking Riverside neighborhood, allow me to introduce myself. 

I'm a Newport resident and previous Vice Chairperson of Newport's Westside Citizens' Coalition. My name is Brant Owen.  

After a recent meeting with the City of Newport, the progress of the West Newport Dog Park/Bernadette Watkins Park upgrade project is accelerating! 

This plan is a government/community/business partnership to upgrade an under-utilized, existing public park into a vibrant, safe, multi-use public space that benefits diverse communities in and adjacent to West Newport. 

We're asking for letters of support from businesses, non-profits, community groups, residents, property owners, etc. with interest/influence in or adjacent to the Westside neighborhood, and would like to have these collected by Monday, May 27 th.

This show of community support will go a long way in helping us secure grants and donations to fund the construction and ongoing maintenance of this improved park and the dog park addition. 

I'm readily available to discuss and answer questions and happy to schedule a time to do so.
