Clean Up Little Italy San Jose
Last Thursday Joshua, our Chief Executive, met with the President and Deputy Officer of the San Jose Redevelopment Agency during a walking tour of Little Italy San Jose. As many of you know our main two priorities at the moment our locating parking for our committed Italian Businesses, and creating a master Art plan with Italian Murals in the underpass to create a stronger Italian feel for the Neighborhood. We gave a packet to the Redevelopment Agency including (13) Businesses with signed letters of commitment and a total of (31) Aunthentic Italian Businesses interested in Little Italy San Jose. This strong interest really showed the progress our Little Italy portion of the project has gained and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency is happy to help with assisting with parking concerns, landscapping, street realignment, arches and artistic murals in the underpass. We gave the agency a wish list for small projects for Little Italy and will be working on a Business/ Strategy plan for each project.
The First project that will be completed is a joint Volunteer cleanup day for Little Italy San Jose between the San Jose Redevelopment Agency and the Italian Community. This cleanup will take place on Saturday June 27th at 9:00 A.M. at Henry’s High Life near the HP Pavilion. The Agency will be providing dumpsters to allow us to throw away garbage, weeds, and weed trees. (Food and Refreshments will be provided, but please bring your own gloves and Garden equipment). This is an opportunity for us to begin to feel a sense of ownership of the River Street area as it becomes Little Italy San Jose!!
