The First 5
Asked to identify five actions she will take resulting from the transition report, Harp mentioned the following:• Create a new Community Outreach Center at the Bethel AME Church at 255 Goffe St., offering activities for kids.
• Identify four neighborhood arteries to work with the Connecticut Main Street Center to “build capacity” on those streets.
• Create a new “Minority and Small Business Initiative.”
• Create a central grant-making office in City Hall. (Harp has asked for alders’ permission to create these new positions; they have held up the request pending more information.)
• Through new traffic czar Doug Hausladen, create more low-cost and no-cost traffic calming on city streets.
