Neighborhood Benefits From RJA Tenant Initiative
Monday, July 21st 2008 at 9:00 a.m., 2nd Ward Alderman Robert Fioretti and tenants of the Rebecca Johnson Apartments cut the ribbon for a new bus shelter located near 2822 W. Jackson Blvd.
The Apartments, owned and operated by Deborah’s Place, are home to 90 women who are formerly homeless. This bus shelter serves as a source of comfort and security for tenants, staff and community. It also represents a victory for the tenants at RJA who met with Alderman Fioretti last year and requested the bus shelter.
The morning included an official ribbon cutting as well as a coffee hour where Alderman Fioretti had the opportunity to talk with tenants and staff about the process of obtaining the bus shelter as well as other issues and concerns that impact the community. The Alderman expressed his support and willingness to continue to work with the tenants to make the neighborhood a great place to live.
Deborah’s Place thanks Alderman Fioretti and his hard working staff for our new bus shelter.
