Comstock Neighborhood Council announces summer events and upcoming meetings

Residents of Spokane's Comstock neighborhood are set to engage with local leaders at an upcoming council meeting, where key topics will include education and community development. The Comstock Neighborhood Council, led by Vice Chair Elizabeth, will host its monthly meeting on May 21 at 6 PM, featuring guest speakers such as Dr. Adam Swinyard, superintendent of Spokane Public Schools, and Garrett Jones, director of parks and recreation. They will discuss the upcoming bridal levy and other important community issues.

In addition to the council meeting, the Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS) has announced a District 2 Neighborhood and City Council Town Hall on June 9 at the MLK Community Center, aimed specifically at District 2 residents. This event is part of the city's initiative to foster community engagement, which has been highlighted as the "Year of the Neighborhood."

The ONS also encourages residents to participate in the Spokane Neighborhood Summit on October 25, which is seeking workshop presenters. Community members are reminded that applications for community engagement grants are due by June 16, providing an opportunity for local projects to receive funding.

For those looking to stay informed, the ONS offers a monthly newsletter and encourages attendance at neighborhood council meetings to learn more about local developments. With these initiatives, Spokane aims to strengthen community ties and enhance civic participation.
