West Broadway Neighborhood Center

In November 2001, The Plan Commission selected four centers and corridors as pilot projects.  The four pilots are West Broadway and South Perry Neighborhood Centers, Holy Family Employment Center, and the Hillyard Business Corridor.  During 2002, stakeholder teams created visions and strategy plans for each area.  The four pilots are now implementing projects identified in their plans, based on priorities established in the planning process.

Historic Preservation

West Central Neighborhood, Nettleton’s Additions:   Consultant Diana Painter’s contract is continuing on the second phase of the nomination, Nettleton’s First Addition.   Four matching grants totaling $30,000 are being combined for the creation of a pilot neighborhood historic preservation program implemented in West Central neighborhood, which will include a National Register district that will be the second largest in the state. 

Following the completion of Nettleton’s 2^nd Addition survey in the West Central Neighborhood, work has begun on Nettleton’s 1^st Addition. Consisting of nearly 400 homes, Nettleton’s 1^st Addition is an “L” shape bounded to the north by Boone Avenue and to the south by Bridge Ave. Western boundaries cover a portion of Cochran Street and Summit Boulevard, while the east boundary is Chestnut Street. Homes in Nettleton’s 1^st Addition represent a wide range of architectural styles including Arts and Crafts or Craftsman style bungalows, modest Vernacular homes, modern homes, Folk Victorian and high style Queen Anne.

Working on completing the necessary documentation for a proposal that would make Nettleton’s 1^st Addition a historic district as well, is summer intern Aimee E. Flinn. Ms. Flinn is currently working on her Interdisciplinary Master’s degree at Eastern Washington University in anthropology and history. Most recently, Ms. Flinn has worked for Archaeological and Historical Services (AHS) at EWU and completed an internship with local public history publication Nostalgia Magazine, where she’s recently had two articles published on local military history. Ms. Flinn is also a commissioner on the Cheney Historic Preservation Commission.
