PART 2: LOCAL BUSINESSES & COMMUNITY RESOURCE MAP
Leaders of the North City Park Civic Association began compiling a neighborhood resource guide for residents. This guide is intended to showcase the history, architecture, culture and other assets of Skyland/North City Park for resident knowledge and to stimulate economic development in the community. Maps identifying the location of neighborhood assets, businesses and community resources were produced for this guide.
There are a rich variety of local businesses and community resources as indicated on the maps below. The most common type of local business is classified as “General Services,” including companies specializing in interior design, car repair, and other services. The number of churches in the community highlights the importance of religious institutions in the neighborhood. The survey presents additional data on which types of businesses are frequented by residents and their ideas for economic development in the neighborhood.
Most local businesses are “mom and pop” businesses that have been in the neighborhood for a number of years. Most businesses are concentrated along Colorado Blvd. and 28th Avenue, which are the two areas zoned for commercial activity in the neighborhood.
