EDMOND — The Edmond Neighborhood Alliance offers education and support to Edmond residents when an issue for a neighborhood becomes problematic, said Carol Ensey, who became ENA president in November.
She became involved in ENA four years ago when her Chimney Hill neighborhood joined the neighborhood advocacy group.
ENA is gearing up for its annual ENA Neighborhood Summit scheduled for Feb. 27 at the Multipurpose Activity Center on the grounds of Mitch Park. Edmond Connections is the theme for this year’s summit.
“It’s basically a lot of information for neighborhood people,” Ensey said. “We send out our booklets to 1,400 people. It’s also in our newsletter that it’s coming.”
She said the Neighborhood Summit will feature local attorney Matthew Winton making a presentation about neighborhood issues.
“Things come up with covenants. He’s also available for neighborhoods that don’t have covenants,” she said.
Environmental waste and recycling will be another topic for Edmond residents to learn about, Ensey said. Transportation is another issue.
“We’re all excited about these new buses,” she said of the new Citylink and Expresslink buses.
ENA often advocates for neighborhoods at the City Council and Edmond Planning Commission, where Ensey frequently attends.
“ENA benefits our community by putting on events like their annual summit,” said Patrice Douglas, Edmond mayor. “Events like this make Edmond a better place to live and work.”
