Tea Talks & Pop-Ups

The NCI team has been busy hosting community events intended to spark conversations about the community and planned development activities. The NCI team is committed to building a network of community members, Park Morton residents and neighbors that are focused on ensuring that the planned redevelopment benefits everyone.
