What is TGHAP?
TGHAP,
(pronounced TEE-gap), is the acronym for The Green Hills Action
Partners. It is a community organization of concerned neighbors
and businesses working together to make Green Hills a safer and
more enjoyable place to live, work, walk, bike, drive, shop and
play! TGHAP's mission is to achieve positive urban planning and
design solutions for the heart of Green Hills by raising community
awareness and serving as a liaison between businesses, neighbors
and Metro Government. It's the only organization devoted specifically
to improving the Green Hills Business District.
What does TGHAP do?
TGHAP
meets at least four times a year to bring the community together
in order to talk about and learn what's going on in Green Hills.
At our meetings, we invite businesses, developers, Metro or state
officials and neighbors to give reports. We often have guest speakers
to talk with us about new developments, city issues or projects
that directly affect our community. We try to find solutions to
problems facing the Green Hills Business District.
We are an action oriented group, thus
the name The Green Hills Action Partners. We get things
accomplished. Since our inception in 1999, TGHAP has remained
very active. Please feel free to look at our most recent accomplishments
from the last several years. (see Accomplishments)
