"I have worked with the members of the Ferguson Road Initiative on several projects.

The Ferguson Road Initiative is an example of what can be accomplished when local residents, schools, businesses, religious leaders, and public officials work together to improve a neighborhood."

There can be no question that FRI is fully invested in creating and sustaining a safe environment to work and live."
