What is an ECODistrict?
An ECODistrict is a community developed with a holistic and sustainable view in mind. We strive to make sure our neighborhoods are Equitable, Economical, and Environmental.
What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is holding, practicing, and at times even fighting for the principles of an equitable community, an economy that benefits everyone, and a well stewarded community environment.
Why Should I Join?
Do you want to feel a sense of belonging, finally find out who those strangers living around you are, or make a tangible difference in your neighborhood? We do too. While system has disinvested from the Cavalier Manor neighborhood in previous decades, we can change that narrative now! Come empower the neighborhood again through sustainable initiatives that will tangibily make our neighborhood more affordable, healthier, and connected.

Community Benefits Agreement
Prosperity for ALL inside the ECO District is important. This initiative focuses on the industrial park just below Cavalier Manor. These large companies have burdened our neighborhoods for many years, and, now, it is time that they contribute back to the community.
Development Without Displacement
Community change is hard, but we want it to be for the better. The Cavalier Manor area is a community that deserves to be respected and whose opinion should be heard. We want to see the Cavalier Manor area developed, but in a sustainable way. We work to ensure that large developers are not hurting our community. We want to prevent and mitigate develop impacts.
Community Resilience Hub
With the world experiencing more shocks and stresses ranging from city demolishing forest fires to a deadly pandemic, we need to be prepared. We need to be resilient. That is exactly what this project is about. This resilience hub will be a physical building that helps service the community in times of all types of shocks and stresses: environmental, financial, etc. More to come on this project…
Energy For All
We believe that you should have access to sustainable energy options and pay a reasonable power bill. We have a right to keep our community environment healthy and not have to pay unfair energy bills in the process. This initiative will accomplish these beliefs along with providing a resource for community education on the energy sector.
Sustainable Jobs Center
Work should not only provide for our needs, but also be fulfilling. Jobs should be for a good purpose. We are working to create a jobs center that helps individuals find employment in a sustainable work field whether that is as an electrician in a smart power grid(electricity infrastructure that allows you to fairly give or receive electricity) or repairing offshore wind turbines. These sustainable jobs will help to inform our community about the importance of sustainability while also encourgaging our city to invest in sustainble development.
