NOBLE'S BOON AREA 1 (PROTOTYPE):

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.

• Since 2020 we have not had to cut grass on this 4,000sqft. property. Saving between 178 and 480 pounds of CO2 per year.
• Since 2021 we have given Noble Neighborhood a yearly check from the revenue generated at BOON AREA 1.

The goal is to demonstrate and display better environmental and social practices, and generate enough revenue to support Noble Neighborhood in becoming self-sustaining by providing funds to the neighborhood to:

• Fund neighborhood programs and projects.
• Pay residents who take on Officer Titles (roles) within the neighborhood.
• Ultimately, stipend every household in Noble neighborhood from the revenue generated at BOON AREA 1 is the vision.

We want create a neighborhood BOON AREA 1 in all 104 neighborhoods in the high-poverty zip codes of Kansas City, Mo.

We are just getting started.
