United for
Safety & Sustainability -
a group of community volunteers
Goals :
- Safety
Strengthen our neighborhood connections - slow down speeding traffic
- Semi Rural Preservation/Restoration : preserve/restore Homestead's semi-rural environment ; educate property owners and encourage elected representatives to respect the TAM plan guidelines.
- Sustainability :
Local Creeks Conservation/Restoration : seek funding sources to rebuild damaged areas near Reed Creek;
educate local residents about the harmful effects of polluted storm water runoff;
i.e., degradation of water quality to local creeks,
increased volume and velocity of water as it pertains to vulnerable properties in the flood plain.
We are a growing group of Homestead neighbors who seek to work with community organizations, schools and businesses who share our values of respect for the environment and citizens' rights to a fair and inclusive community planning process.
We share these core values: honesty, integrity and fairness.
