Scope
In an effort to continue and grow partnerships with the community, the City of Tacoma has reached out to the children of McCarver Elementary for their input on, and vision for, the future of the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Subarea. The children of McCarver are quickly gaining a reputation as highly motivated and influential members of the community. This is highlighted through such efforts as the Zina Linnik Project which raised 3.5 million dollars for a full renovation of McCarver Park as well as a new spray-ground for Wright Park.
Please take a few moments to enjoy the efforts of these McCarver students who have been participating in an ongoing project with the City of Tacoma and our community partners as we look towards the future of the MLK Subarea and Hilltop community.
