ADC Community Engagement
The Avondale Quality of Life Initiative is helping Avondale set goals for its future, prioritize its needs and generally get things moving toward positive change. The initiative is taking everything about Avondale into consideration: schools, parks, health care, child care, safety, social services and economic advancement. We are currently in Phase One of this effort, which calls for interviewing residents and community stakeholders to identify shared community priorities. Once this information is collected, we will develop a comprehensive plan and take action.

Avondale Communications
ADC also has a very robust communications platform to keep residents informed about important issues in Avondale. We have a biweekly email newsletter, a biweekly “robocall” system, website, Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram account. And we have a community engagement team that meets residents where they live and where they gather to deliver information and gain feedback about challenges facing our neighborhood.
