to a $100,000 grant from the National Football League through
the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, a multi-use youth
athletic field will be established. TSHDC also seeks to complete
a redevelopment plan for the Paseo Corridor, as well as continue
to work on organizational capacity building and community
