In Valparaiso, the city says it is hosting a Neighborhood Workshop on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 5:30 pm to 7 pm, at Valparaiso City Hall on Lincolnway. The workshops provide an opportunity for neighborhood representatives to connect, learn from each other, and become more familiar with available neighborhood services, a news release said. The January agenda includes a welcome from Mayor Jon Costas, a summary of the 2025 Neighborhood Improvement Grant Guidelines, and a presentation by the Valparaiso Creative Council to inspire grant project ideas. Neighborhood groups, including homeowners’ associations, neighborhood associations or newly forming groups are encouraged to send representatives to the workshop. “Neighborhood workshops are a great source of information and inspiration. We look forward to connecting neighborhoods with ideas and resources,” said Maggie Clifton, Valpo’s Director of Community Engagement. The full agenda is available on the Community Engagement page at Valpo.us . Participants are asked to RSVP by contacting Maggie Clifton at City Hall (219) 462-1161 or via email to ensure materials and space for everyone.
