RE: Recognition of Bent Woods Neighborhood Association
BACKGROUND
The subject neighborhood association held a general membership meeting on Tuesday, October
12, 2021. Approximately 30 attendees voted on neighborhood boundaries, a neighborhood
name, and adopted organizational by-laws in accordance with the City’s Neighborhood
Recognition Policy. The Bent Woods Neighborhood Association’s (BWNA) boundaries are as
follows: Murdock Avenue to the north, behind Congress Avenue to the south, Elmwood Avenue
to the west, and behind Jackson Street to the east. A boundary map is attached for your reference.
Upon the creation of BWNA, there will be 20 recognized neighborhood associations in Oshkosh.
City recognition will allow BWNA to access funding through the Community Building &
Engagement Program administered by Greater Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc. (GO-
HNI) to support neighborhood events, projects, and activities. In addition, BWNA will be
eligible to apply for the City’s Great Neighborhoods funding to support capital improvements
in their neighborhood and property owners will be eligible to apply for financial housing
incentive programs available to City of Oshkosh recognized neighborhood associations.
Please advise me if you have any questions regarding recognition of the Bent Woods
Neighborhood Association.
