RE: Recognition of Fox Chase Neighborhood Association
The subject neighborhood association held a general membership meeting on Tuesday, February 26,
2019. Approximately 10 attendees voted on neighborhood boundaries, a neighborhood name, and
adopted organizational by-laws, in accordance with the City's Neighborhood Recognition Policy. The
Fox Chase Neighborhood Association's (FCNA) boundaries are as follows:
201h Avenue to the south, Sawyer Creek to the north, Oakwood Road to the east and City of Oshkosh City
limits to the west. A map of FCNA's boundaries is attached for your reference.
Upon the creation FCNA, the number of recognized neighborhood associations in Oshkosh is now
sixteen. City recognition will allow FCNA 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, FCNA will be eligible to apply for
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 concerning the Fox Chase Neighborhood Association.
Respectfully Submitted,
Alexa Naudziunas
