Bayfront East Side Taskforce

About Bayfront East Side Taskforce

The central mission of B.E.S.T. is to improve the quality of life for neighborhood residents and assure a stable, desirable working environment for businesses and their employees. Our central themes are: organizing the community, building a positive neighborhood image, increasing neighborhood pride, and beautifying the neighborhood. We also strive to promote home ownership, improve communication, and serve in a concerted and collaborative role with local government. We work with many partners in our community to improve safety and build stability, fostering a sense of community. Our vision here at B.E.S.T. is that the East Bayfront neighborhood will continue to build up quality of life, better housing, and great businesses. To accomplish this, we work with partners located in our neighborhood. We involve landlords in the community organizing process, and we provide neighborhood-benefitting, nonprofit housing development, serving as a central information resource on housing and development. We serve as a collaborator where community partners and volunteers can come together, using their talents and skills to help improve the livelihood throughout the neighborhood. In short, our goal is to make the Historic East Bayfront the BEST place to live, work, and play.
