Broadmeadow Neighborhood Association (BNA) says 2012 was the year of coming together. And their new president, Wade Thompson, says he wants to continue that mission. “We’ve begun to branch out and work with other organizations,” Thompson says. “As a neighborhood association, we have established a presence (and show that) we are involved and we work together.”

Thompson says during his 2013 term as BNA president, his vision is to connect better with Broadmeadow’s neighbors and reach beyond their borders. “The stronger we are…it makes for a stronger Fondren,” he explains.

Fondren Renaissance hosted their annual town hall meeting at Broadmeadow United Methodist Church last night and the topic on everyone’s minds was the $2,000,000 transportation enhancement grant. While an overview of the neighborhood’s associations and organizations began the session, grant talks generated the most buzz and took the bulk of the meeting’s hour and fifteen minute time.
