Setting The PACE for a Better Pine Hills

Participation, Accessibility, Collaboration, Excellence (P.A.C.E.)
"Preserving a Clean, Safe & Prosperous Community.”

Dear Pine Hills Community,

This morning I had the opportunity to author a commentary calling for the fuller story of Pine Hills to be told. For far too long, our community has often been defined by headlines rather than by the full context of the people, partnerships, and progress that shape Pine Hills every day. As the article reflects, narratives matter. The way a community is talked about influences perception, and perception can influence investment, opportunity, and policy.

But those of us who live here, work here, and invest our time and energy into this community know that Pine Hills is far more than the limited narrative that is sometimes presented. Pine Hills is families investing in their children, small businesses opening their doors each morning, nonprofit organizations and faith leaders serving residents, and neighbors working together to strengthen our community. It is a community with resilience, pride, and forward momentum.

I encourage each of you to take a moment to read the commentary and share it with others. Helping tell the fuller story of Pine Hills is something we all play a role in.

As we continue Preserving a Clean, Safe & Prosperous Community, and as our administration remains committed to Setting the PACE for a Better Pine Hills through Participation, Accessibility, Collaboration, and Excellence, I am grateful for the many residents, partners, and stakeholders who continue to show that Together, We Can Make a Difference.

With Gratitude & Purpose,

Julien Serrano-O’Neil, ACNP
