LEAP Announces Next ENGAGE Placemaking Project
#Penn4People Mural Exemplifies Collaborative Community-based Economic Development
“In close proximity to the zoo and Sycamore park, this area on Pennsylvania is ultimately the family-friendly center of the city. We learned from residents that there was great potential to use this bridge as a way to connect the surrounding residential areas with these assets,” said Andi Crawford, Director of the City of Lansing’s Department of Neighborhoods and Citizen Engagement. “The mural is one of many projects that involves the contributions of many residents and partners from across the city. It’s rewarding to see it all coming together.”
LEAP’s ENGAGE placemaking program is designed to assist communities in advancing placemaking projects identified by residents and leaders. In its first year the ENGAGE program completed four projects including Keys in the Cities in Charlotte, Sign Language installed along the Lansing River Trail, The Grand Experience, and the #Penn4People mural.
