Community Projects

Willmore City Community Association has effectively secured and reinvested grants totaling $1 million into various community projects. These funds have been allocated to initiatives aimed at enhancing bicycle and pedestrian safety, creating a small park, launching a green alleyway project, establishing a children's garden, adding vibrant murals, and installing historic district street signs. The neighborhood's achievements have established it as a prominent model within the program, often serving as a benchmark for other areas, as noted by the City of Long Beach's Community Development office.
