Mt. Carmel Redevelopment Corp.’s dual focus on community support and redevelopment has attracted the Kansas Health Foundation as a partner.
In the SW Bricktown neighborhood of Hutchinson, residents, community leaders and nonprofits are rallying together to create a healthier, safer, more beautiful area. Now, after a series of community meetings, a resident-created, resident-led effort is bearing fruit.
This work has been aided by a grant through the Kansas Health Foundation Community Engagement Initiative, which provided funding to five communities throughout Kansas.
