Friday Greetings,
- Significant progress has been made on the North Kansas City Public Safety Memorial, a project that will honor NKC Police and Fire personnel who gave their lives in service to our community. This lasting tribute will provide a place of reflection and remembrance for the bravery and sacrifice of those who protected North Kansas City. Details about a dedication ceremony will be shared once the memorial is complete.
- The North Kansas City Comprehensive Safety Action Plan project is in full swing, and we need your input! Please take a few minutes to complete our survey and help us make NKC streets safer for everyone. Scan the QR code on the attached flyer or visit www.nkc.org/safestreets to share your thoughts.

A small and thoughtfully curated artisan holiday market filled with local fine art and maker goods! Applications are open now through Sunday, September 28. Apply today at www.artsinthepark.org/apply.
- It’s block party season! A block party is a great way to celebrate and encourage stronger communities. North Kansas City residents may apply for a grant to host a neighborhood block party. Each grant will reimburse eligible expenses up to $400 per event.
