The Big Picture:
NURVE is the Nystrom United ReVitalization Effort that is happening right now in Richmond.
City agencies and community partners have teamed up to rebuild and revitalize the area surrounding the Nystrom Elementary School and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center and Park.
The vision:
A safe, diverse, and thriving place where kids walk to quality schools, people of all ages use the parks, community facilities and trails, and a variety of housing options supporting a range of incomes that meet the needs of local residents.
