Many of the special amenities you see in other parts of Houston. e.g. Greenspoint, WestChase, Gallaria, downtown, were paid for by a separate entity - their Management District. In some cases they leveraged their limited funds in a partnership with a larger agency’s project. In most cases the projects would not have occured had a management district not been promoting the area and available to be part of the project.

Examples of those improvements are the unique lighting and silver arches in the Galleria area; the landscaped medians in FM-1942 (Westheimer); improved street lights; sidewalks in Greenspoint; wide, new sidewalks in downtown; and the professional ambiance in the Westchase area.

The purpose of our organization is to improve our community through the development and implementation of projects that will improve the quality of life for everyone and bring revitalization to an area where sections are facing decline. This is a grass roots organization where residents, businesses and professional and private organizations are working together under the umbrella of Renaissance 1960 Improvement Corporation to develop an urban plan with achievable projects that will improve the community at large and pursue those that are achievable by a private entity.

We are:

(1)  engaged in a wide variety of community revitalization projects benefitting the general public;

(2)  providing civic service educational opportunities for area students to be involved in their community revitalization efforts and;

(3)  engaged in cultural educational and social programming promoting the diversity of the area;

Our Goal - To make a difference and nurture an area-wide culture of taking action to preserve and improve our quality of life.

Everyone that has successfully combated the graffiti bandits has done so by removal of their handy work as soon as possible. If no one sees it then they will move to somewhere else. Yes, it does not change their behavior unless everyone in many communities undertakes a rapid removal program and they graffiti bandits have to find something else to do. Maybe they will get a job.

Renaissance 1960 recognizes that some of the graffiti contains messages that our police can interpret to help solve crimes. We are working with the Sheriff's and Constable's Department to develop instructions of how citizens can support the police's effort to learn from the markings while removing them quickly to dissuade more graffiti staining our area.
