We’d
love you to get involved. This project will thrive when your voice is part of it. There will be hard work, big thinking, compromise and consensus building and a lot of community-building as we get to know each other better and work through what this street means to us all. But we realize that everyone has different levels of interest and time, so there are a number of ways you can engage, according to your bandwidth.
Emails and social media sign up
The easiest way to keep track of what’s happening and the single most important and simplest thing you can do. We’ll be sending emails and posting about progress on Facebook, as well as sharing links to input surveys etc. If you sign up, you can be in the loop.

It’s hard for me to attend meetings in person
No worries. We will be distributing community surveys as the process moves along, seeking your input, and we’ll also be running various activities on Facebook such as polls, Facebook live events etc. Make sure you sign up to follow SORO NC on social media as outlined above
Robertson Revitalization Committee meetings
SORO NC’s Robertson Revitalization Committee and Outreach Committee will be also be hosting regular committee meetings to share updates on this project. Like all SORO NC meetings, these will be open to the public, and we encourage you to come along. All committee meetings and agendas are always posted 72 hours in advance at soronc.org. We’ll also do our best to send emails and cross-post to Facebook and NextDoor so that you will know when meetings are coming up. Make sure you’re following us on one of our channels.
I want to attend meetings and I’m willing to commit to rolling up my sleeves and doing work. I’m so excited about this!
Hurray! You’re our kind of people. Drop an email to volunteer@soroblvd.com and we’ll chat more about this.
