Community Meeting: Let’s talk about Project Marvel.
Join us on August 11 at St. Michael’s Church (418 Indiana) from 6:30–8PM to learn how this development could impact Denver Heights—and what the upcoming August 14 bond vote means for our neighborhood. We’re coming together to share information, answer questions, and help our community stay informed and engaged.
Discussion led by:
• Phyliss McNair, President, Dignowity Neighborhood Association
• Ruben Arcineiga, Community Advocate, Poderosa Rising
• Sandra Louis, Longtime Denver Heights Resident & Neighborhood
Let’s stay connected, informed, and ready to shape our future—together.
