Neighborhood Renaissance Program

Next Steps

The City of Stockton's Neighborhood Renaissance Program (NRP) is alive in the University Neighborhood Action Committee (NAC) that has just completed their Neighborhood Improvement Plan. This plan is the culmination of nine months of monthly meetings and examination of the University Neighborhood. The plan is scheduled to be presented to the community at the Miracle Mile First Thursday Oktoberfest on October 1. It will also be presented to the Planning Commission on October 22 and City Council on November 3.

The NAC is in the process of re-creating themselves into a citizen-lead committee that will continue to partner with the City for improved service delivery and implementation of the Plan.

Although there is no funding at this time to continue the Neighborhood Plan process in other Stockton Neighborhoods, NRP staff will stay involved the University Neighborhood and are working on projects within the Airport and Kentfield areas. Neighborhoods are encouraged to form Action Committees of their own and City staff will support such efforts.

The ultimate goal is to produce plans in each of the six service districts and not focus on just one area of Stockton.  The pace at which neighborhood work will progress is dependant on the resources that City Departments commit to the program,  Depending on staff, neighborhood participation and funding, plan implementation will be on-going.  A continuous cycle of plan development and implementation will take place as each neighborhood becomes engaged.  As City staff becomes more adept at working in service delivery teams, neighborhood outreach and planning will be a way of life.
