Come to celebrate with the BNPC board members for the unveiling of the new colorful mural in the future La Plazita Park, located inside 918 South Houston Street, and painted by a local mural artist, Liz Cuevas.
This mural project was funded by Education Credit Union. The south brick wall space was donated by Martha Hernandez, the owner of Martha’s Hair Salon.
Free Philly water ice drinks will be donated by new food truck owners, AJ and Candice Rojas, and the BNPC will serve free bottled water.
The Barrio Neighborhood Planning Committee, a nonprofit 501c3 organization and a registered neighborhood association, was established in March 2017 in coordination with the City of Amarillo with the mission of preserving, revitalizing, and educating El Barrio neighborhood for all generations. The BNPC board implements the 2018 city-council approved neighborhood plan, meets quarterly, and conducts five to six fundraisers annually. Our next project is raising $230,000 funds to build La Plazita Park, at 918 South Houston, which will be the first free WIFI community green space park in Amarillo.
