Small Steps in Atlantic County!

What is Small Steps?

Small Steps is a subprogram of Neighborhood Revitalization that seeks to support small-scale revitalization, sustainability, and community building efforts.

With the support of local communities and individuals such as yourself, we believe these “small steps” will make a big impact.

Where?

This round of Small Steps is looking for neighborhoods in Atlantic County!

  • Do you live in Atlantic County and want to inspire your neighbors to take small steps to revitalize their home and community?
