Noble’s Boon Area 1 needs volunteers every Friday in August from 5:30-7:30pm. Located at 3400 E 72nd St. KCMO. 64132, Noble’s Boon Area 1 is an environmental, nature-based, interactive, functional art installation that acts as a contemporary community garden and Neighborhood Revenue Generator (NRG).
In 2016 MRW! obtained this property in a business zone (B1-1) from Land Bank and began beautifying the property and the business zone. The actions of beautification, and planting native plants, (SEE MISSOURI NATIVE PLANTS) brought life into this disinvested business zone on the west side of District 5.
Since 2021 we have given Noble Neighborhood a check from the revenue generated at BOON AREA 1.
The goal is to demonstrate and display better environmental and social practices, and generate enough revenue to support Noble Neighborhood in becoming self-sustaining by providing funds to the neighborhood to:
- Fund neighborhood programs and projects.
- Compensate residents who take on roles within the neighborhood, (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Youth Director, Block Coordinator and so on. There are over 40 Officer Titles that can be held within a neighborhood.
- Ultimately to stipend every household in Noble neighborhood from the revenue generated at BOON AREA 1 is the vision.
We are just getting started.
