Community Involvement & Mitigation
Close involvement by the public was critical in bringing the Stadium and Exhibition Center to life. The PSA maintains its commitment to work collaboratively with neighbors and community organizations to ensure that the areas and neighborhoods surrounding Lumen Field & Event Center remain clean, safe and enjoyable.
To address the impacts of the new stadium and exhibition center on the surrounding neighborhoods, The South Downtown Foundation was formed in 1999. The Foundation provided leadership, partnerships, and facilitated coordination and collaboration between the three adjoining neighborhoods.
The South Downtown Foundation supported over one hundred community projects utilizing the $6.1 million provided as part of the stadium and event center project. The projects largely focused on marketing and public safety, which were the two highest priorities for all three neighborhoods. In March 2006, The South Downtown Foundation dissolved.
Although the stadium and exhibition center have been built, new challenges and opportunities are certain to arise. The PSA, in partnership with First & Goal, continues its ongoing dialogue with the South Downtown neighborhoods through regular community meetings and ongoing mitigation program planning and reporting.
