SPNA NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT INITIATIVES

We are bringing a wave of change to southeast West Haven. Our goal is to assist the City and help to enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood. We live here, and we intend to work in partnership with the City to better the quality of life here.

Pump Station Enhancements

Former State Representative and current Mayor Dorinda Borer was successful in obtaining grant funding to protect the function and further the aesthetic enhancement of the two pump stations along Beach Street. We are working with the City to assist in any way we can be helpful.

SPNA Neighborhood Clean-up Initiative

Beautification

We sponsor monthly clean-ups throughout the neighborhood.

Trash Solution Along the Beach

In cooperation with Public Works, we want to reduce litter from tourists and resident beach goers.

Work with Save the Sound

We work with representatives from Save the Sound to track trash pickup for their regional annual program.

Environmental Education

We would love to work with the West Haven schools to create an environmental education program.

Audubon Grant

Our liaison, former board member Georgianna Jette, has worked with Audubon from the beginning to foster the creation and designation of the Bird Sanctuary. Audubon recently was approved for a grant for an additional educational hub and, given their history with the Sandy Point Bird Sanctuary, they chose West Haven as the general site. We would love for our neighborhood to be the location and we are willing to provide the support.

Limiting Waterfowl Hunting

We are working with City Council to have an ordinance passed that limits waterfowl hunting at the Sanctuary. This is similar to ordinances passed at many locations along the coast in Connecticut.

Cleanup and Beautification Efforts

Our volunteers have maintained the landscaping and gardens in and around the Sanctuary, and have planted new gardens as well.
