City Plans for 6th Annual NeighborFest

Staff at the City of Austin's Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office has begun planning for this year's NeighborFest. The goal of the event is to provide Austin residents with a wide variety of information about the services offered in Austin.

This year's event will be held on May 15, 2004 between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at Barbara Jordan Elementary, located at 6711 Johnny Morris Road. This is a family event and there will be activities for children as well.

Brief on-site workshop will be conducted during the event including a weatherization workshop and a home buyer education workshop.

Sponsorships are still available for NeighborFest for either financial and/or logistical assistance for the event OR in-kind donations. Sponsors will have a booth at the event, for FREE.
