Improving Tallahassee

Working with community partners, KCCI organized an engaging week of hands-on community building and improvement events, tours, and networking events, all designed to enhance sense of place in Tallahassee. The events were FREE to the public.

The KCCI Southside Sense of Place Project worked with the City of Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department to execute the construction of a new street scape for Palmer Avenue, which resulted in approximately $750,000 in improvements. Palmer Avenue now serves as the model for future connector roads between South Monroe and South Adams.

Tallahassee Music Week has partnered with local groups to create a week of live music featuring more than 140 mostly free performances throughout Tallahassee April 1-7, 2017. The event provides entertainment for the community, elevates the brand of the local music scene while also showcasing local musical talent.

EllaVate worked with neighbors around Lake Ella to make it a more attractive venue for locals. New swings, new signage and a new entrance were created.

Cultivate Cascades conducted research on Cascades Park, successfully pushed for a more extensive amphitheater in Cascades Park, and partnered with local community partners to develop Discovery, a unique playscape for children.
