The club’s commitment to community-driven development was on full display as leadership joined residents, city officials and project partners at the first public open house for the Burnham Yard Small Area Plan. The event, held at the La Alma Recreation Center, marked an important milestone in shaping a shared vision for the future of the area—including the ongoing process surrounding the new stadium project.
President @dleech9 and members of the executive team were present to listen, learn, and engage directly with neighbors. The open house provided an opportunity for genuine dialogue, allowing community members to express priorities, raise questions and offer ideas that will help guide development in a way that reflects local needs and values.
Throughout the evening, leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration and long-term relationship-building. By participating in the Small Area Plan kickoff, the club signaled its dedication to ensuring the stadium-related work aligns with broader community aspirations rather than existing in isolation.
As planning continues, the club reiterated its belief that meaningful community input is essential to creating spaces that benefit everyone. Last night’s open house served as a strong first step in what will be an ongoing, inclusive process toward shaping a community-inspired future for Burnham Yard and its surrounding neighborhoods.
