Project Safe Neighborhoods

What it's all about

Neighborhoods within the proposed service area continue to experience disproportionately high utility costs coupled with public safety and health concerns. The impact of this negative impact in historically underserved neighborhoods erodes trust between residents and the local municipality including but not limited to code enforcement, utility provider, and Law Enforcement Agency.

The purpose of this “Project Safe Neighborhoods” (PSN) initiative is to contribute to the reduction in criminal activity and lower energy burden for residents as well as build trust in neighborhoods through education and behavioral change.
