To further promote neighborhood engagement, the City of Valparaiso is hosting a Neighborhood Workshop on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, 6 to 7:00 pm at the Banta Activity Center on Beech Street. “We look forward to sharing updates about Neighborhood Improvement grants, sharing success stories and how to apply, and sharing ways to work together to strengthen neighborhoods,” said Maggie Clifton, Valparaiso’s Community Engagement Director and host of the workshop. Special guest Fire Chief Chad Dutz will also highlight fire prevention month and resources available to residents.
