Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Armourdale Renewal Association
The Armourdale Renewal Association was founded in 1990 by Patty Dysart to “ensure that businesses and residents have the necessary resources to aid community development.” The actual Armourdale neighborhood has roots dating back to approximately 1882. The ARA works with the Unified Government to build a safe and healthy environment for the people who live and work in Armourdale. That work has recently focused on creating a Master Plan for the entire area, including healthy lifestyles, business development, and tourism boosts. The Association also strives to create and sustain programs in Youth Development, Economic Development, and a Healthy Community. The ARA offers year-round events for business and community members, including business luncheons, an Earth Day clean-up, and a Summer Camp, in addition to activities such as sports, STEM, arts and crafts, and much more.
