Community advocates push for $18K in arts funding at Tweety Bulle meeting

During the recent Tweedy Mile Advisory Board meeting held on May 5, 2025, community members expressed frustration over the lack of communication and support from the board of directors. Residents voiced their concerns that despite their efforts to improve the area, they have not received any feedback or assistance from the board, which they believe hinders progress.

One key discussion point was the allocation of $18,000 intended for community projects. Board members debated how much of this funding should be directed toward arts initiatives and beautification efforts in the Tweedy Mile area. There was a consensus that some of the funds should be earmarked for enhancing local art programs and beautifying the community, although specific details on how this would be implemented remain unclear.

The meeting highlighted a growing desire among residents for more engagement from the board, as many feel that their voices are not being heard. This sentiment underscores the need for improved communication channels between the advisory board and the community it serves.

As the meeting concluded, members acknowledged the importance of taking action to address these concerns and expressed hope for a more collaborative approach moving forward. The discussions from this meeting reflect a community eager for positive change and a stronger partnership with local leadership.
