The Partnership has been successful in the creation of three new park spaces, the defeat of two proposed 'Hot Sheet' motels, the creation of the Near Northwest Management District, a City of Houston Super Neighborhood Council, the awarding of in excess of $60,000 in education scholarships, the 2.8 mile construction of the White Oak Bayou Trail Extension along the west side of White Oak Bayou from Pinemont Drive to Victory to begin in October 2009 and the planting of more than 4000 trees and shrubs... and just recently the approval of the Greater Inwood Area rail quite zone that will extend from Mangum to West Little York.
The Greater Inwood
Partnership is supported 100% by our members and operates on membership dues alone. Every membership dollar allows a cadre of
volunteers to provide critical services to the area. In 2008 tons of trash was collected, hundreds of trees were planted and
$2,000 was awarded in scholarship funds.
Together we have communicated at round table meetings, at community celebrations, at
leadership training events, through newspaper articles and through our website.
Together we have worked to plant trees, to weed
beds, to sweep curbs, to pick up trash and build parks and bike trails.
Together we have learned by attending Saturday morning
horticulture classes, by discussing environmental issues and by sharing community building ideas.
For the past 16 years dedicated volunteers have been working together in the Greater Inwood Partnership (GIP) to build a better community [map] whose population is larger than many small cities. The Greater Inwood area is located in near northwest Houston and is comprised of 35 neighborhoods.
The Greater Inwood Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization devoted to developing, encouraging, promoting, beautifying, protecting, and unifying the greater Inwood area of Houston.
