Mission Statement
The mission of Greenprint Niagara is to address the abundance of vacant lots in the City of Niagara Falls, using a variety of creative re-use strategies, including community gardens and natural green spaces, thereby increasing the overall civic engagement of residents, combating community deterioration, and lessening neighborhood tensions in the
City of Niagara Falls, NY.
Description
Greenprint Niagara is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2012 in the City of Niagara Falls, NY. Greenprint facilitates community repurposing of vacant land in the City for a variety of uses such as green space, creative expression, community gardens, and any other effort combating community deterioration.
This 5 Year Strategic Plan (2013-2017) outlines the trajectory of Greenprint. The intention is to share our goals and path with all those who wish to be involved, in addition to providing a guide for our operation.
Vacant spaces are so much more than they appear. Rather than see the extent of blight and neighborhood tensions they incur, we see a mode of revitalization, civic engagement, and reclaimed community space.
