Our President, Doug on Channel Five

Check out the news story that featured our very own Doug McBride.  Woodland Heights is going to be an exciting place to live in during the next few years -- and BEYOND! Beginning mid-2012, the neighborhood will begin working with an ISU graduate student to chart out projects to enhance our neighborhood (because we were selected for the grant!!).  Items that we identified during the grant application process to tackle include (but is not limited to

• Woodland Heights Cemetary fence
• Chamberlain Park enhancements
• Gateway beautification
• Bike trails
• Linden Street enhancements
• Much, much more!
