BOON AREA 1
An initiative (inspired by the Parade of Hearts) to create, environmental, interactive, functional art installations that act as contemporary gardens, one in every neighborhood in a high-poverty zip code.
HISTORY & GOAL
In 2016 MRW! obtained this property in a business zone (B1-1) from Land Bank and began beautifying the property and the business zone. The actions of beautification, and planting NATIVE PLANTS brought life into this business zone.
- 2020 we have not had to cut grass on this 4,000sqft. property. Saving between 178 and 480 pounds of CO2 per year.
- 2021 we have given Noble Neighborhood a yearly check from the revenue generated at BOON AREA 1.
The goal is to demonstrate and display environmental and social practices, generate revenue, and give the Noble Neighborhood a yearly check. We want create a neighborhood BOON AREA 1 in all 119 neighborhoods 10 of the 15 high-poverty zip codes of Kansas City, Mo.
