NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVE PROGRAM
Official web site for City of Corpus Christi, Texas

In 2003-2004, the City of Corpus Christi completed five intensive service/operational Neighborhood Initiative Program (NIP) projects throughout the City. Working in partnership with the neighborhood residents, the NIP made significant strides to achieve the City's goal for "Livable Neighborhoods".


These first five NIP projects generated enthusiastic support and participation from the City's neighborhood residents. The program produced phenomenal statistics with the collection of over 700 tons of trash, brush, heavy debris and tires; the cleaning of over 600 storm water inlets; replacement of over 1,100 street signs and poles; the maintenance of over 145 city streets; replacement, or upgrade of over 100 street lights; the mowing and clearing of over 210 vacant or abandoned properties; the capture of 95 stray animals; the resolution of 124 traffic obstruction cases; the creation of Neighbors on Watch groups; and many other significant service results.

The program was conducted in five designated neighbor hoods which proved to be beneficial to over 2,500 households who were left with a cleaner and safer neighborhood.
