Carrollton-Riverbend Neighborhood Association (CRNA)

Getting Organized

Posted on April 10, 2025 by jpadgettnola | Edit

Tues, April 22, 6:00-7:30pm

Community Commitment Education Center, Leonidas@Spruce

Purpose: Follow-up to April 10th meeting. If possible, before the 22nd, talk with someone who would be interested and could help us think through possibilities about this project. Given the parameters of the school board, we are looking for partners interested in a 30-90 year lease or a private buyer. Initial ideas, but we are not limited to, include elder housing, solar farm, expansion of Okra Abbey, early childhood education, social services, etc – OR a combination of all these. Any potential partners, as well as potential grant/funding sources to explore will all be welcome.

The Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street is applying for a permit for outdoor music. Community Meeting on Tuesday, March 12th, 6:30pm at the Bar. Go to learn what’s included in the application: type of music, acoustic or level of amplification, time parameters, etc. We all love outdoor music, AND this has the potential to have major impact on neighbors.
