  2. Neighbors are equipped to gather with other residents on their block.
  3. Neighbors are aware of the resources available from within the neighborhood.
  4. Neighbors are aware of the resources available in the broader Holland community.
  5. Community-minded businesses and nonprofit organizations are engaged in creating spaces and opportunities for building community.
  6. Neighbors are aware of and involved in decisions being made by local government that affect them.
  7. Neighbors are using and enjoying community garden space.
