Two Neighborhood Visioning Meetings Scheduled for Residents to Help Shape West Park's Future  Kamm's Corners Development Corporation (KCDC) and Bellaire-Puritas Development Corporation (BPDC) serve the western and eastern areas of the West Park neighborhood respectively. Recent changes to ward boundaries have expanded KCDC's service area into areas formerly served by BPDC, and BPDC has expanded its service area further east, introducing new and different challenges to both organizations. Please participate in a Neighborhood Visioning Meeting, as an opportunity for West Park residents to shape the future of this historic neighborhood through the collaborative work of these community development corporations. Click here for the flyer showing two opportunities to participate in community-wide meetings: Tuesday, July 29 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 14040 Puritas Avenue, beneath Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Fogarty Hall Wednesday, August 6 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 3430 Rocky River Drive at River's Edge, located just north of St. Joseph Academy
