Our goal is to foster excellent relationships with residents, local media outlets, City staff and elected officials. Connection between the City and neighborhoods is vital to foster an engaged public that can help move Auburn forward. By working together, we can elevate Auburn's successes. Neighborhood Directory The City of Auburn's neighborhoods are diverse in tradition, history and culture. We want to work with each to help residents optimize City services and communicate on matters important to them. We strive to keep an updated neighborhood directory and are asking for established homeowners associations and unofficial neighborhood groups to connect with us by emailing Neighborhood Specialist Allison Blankenship at ablankenship@auburnalabama.org with your representative's name, contact information and neighborhood. Through this, we will start conversations on how to best establish an effective partnership with each part of Auburn's community. Citizens' Academy It is our goal to introduce a public academy that connects Auburn residents with City staff and walks them through the vital role each department plays in the community. Participants will graduate from this program with knowledge of day-to-day operations, the tools to get more involved and a deeper relationship with the people who are a part of their local government. With scheduling being hard to predict amid the current health crisis, a date has not yet been set for the Citizens' Academy. Neighborhood Cleanup Project On an annual basis, the City of Auburn selects a focus area within its boundaries on which to make repairs and perform general maintenance work. The Neighborhood Cleanup Project began in 2011 as a way for City staff to work with residents to beautify and nourish Auburn’s neighborhoods. Report an Issue Spy a pothole in your neighborhood?
