Helping Organize Community to Stop Massive Parking Garage
Helping Organize Community to Stop Massive Parking Garage
In 2021, Jerred, as Downtown Neighborhood Assoc. President, was approached by Uptown leaders and residents asking for help to stop a massive, 7-story parking garage from being built in their single family home, quaint community. The garage, proposed by St. Jude, would have been built at 4th Street & AW Willis. United with the community, Jerred took the message and plea to the DNA board of directors who unanimously voted to stand with the community. Jerred, arm in arm with the community, helped advocate for the community and their plea for asking St. Jude to build the garage at their original location which was not in the uptown community. Together, they went before the Board of adjustments and convinced them the project was harmful to the community; the board voted it down.
