Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where do people in your community gather or socialize?
  - How and where does your community access services (healthcare, transportation, educational services, etc.)?

Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: My community is made of a diverse group of people. It was originally a predominately Black community that was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1940s as housing opportunities for returning Black veterans of WWll. The area is presently undergoing many changes that center around the original property owners dying and their heirs selling out. In turn, many of the properties have become rentals with those individuals not having any vested pride in the area. The new Savannah Sports Arena is being built in the immediate area and with it comes further change that promises to negatively affect the historic value of the nationally proclaimed historic community.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: Historically, Carver Heights, named after George Washington Carver, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. It was once the largest individually owned housing development for people of color in the world. The memories of the military's 1950s Mosquito Experiment still haunts many long time residents.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: It is expected that the property value of all Carver Heights homes will continually escalate as the new Sports Arena nears completion. Presently, many buyers are descending upon residents in search of a willing seller who will sell low so the buyer will be positioned to make a huge profit. The development of the Arena & Canal District will definitely change the face of Carver Heights.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: The community needs a school, and Black business opportunities. While it is not the perfect place, it is a good district with a rich history that has the ability to create change by allowing residents to vote for and elect leaders who care about the community. We want to keep our district the way it is!
