Spring Rd. on the north, Georgia Ave. on the east and 14th St. on the west.
The Pleasant Plains Civic Association, The Emergence Community Arts

How
will you benefit by joining the PPNN?
You
will receive a regular newsletter with information on:
Social
Networking
How
many of your neighbors do you know? Through the PPNN residents can be
informed of social activities happening right in the neighborhood – block
parties, events at ECAC, Sankofa, MentoringWorks2.
Volunteer
Involvement
As
busy as many of us are, most people have at least one hour a week to give to
the community. Organizations such as MentoringWorks2 and ECAC can put that
hour to good use. Get involved with the youth, help out our children’s
programs, help fix up the ECAC community center. The PPNN will keep you
informed of the ways you can contribute to the community.
Civic
Engagement
Over
the next few years, major development will come to Georgia Ave. Don’t let
developers dictate our neighborhood’s future. What type of businesses do you
want to see? How much affordable housing? What type of liquor establishments
do we want and how many? Make your voice count. Through the PPNN you will be
informed of plans, important meetings, timetables and other decisions made
affecting the Pleasant Plains community.
Historical
Preservation
Work
on the Georgia Avenue/Pleasant Plains Heritage Trail is underway and will
soon document the rich history of this area with signs from the Shaw to the
Petworth Metro Stations. Do you have a story to tell? Photos to share?
Through the PPNN find out how you can be a part of preserving the history of
the community
