Many have been updated while retaining their historic character

Help us pay our legal fees! (Updated 2-13-13) |
|
Our hard-working lawyer Minnette Burges, who helped us negotiate the new Group Dwelling Code Amendment with the City, generously reduced the amount that we owe her to $13,636, a significant discount from the $40,000 that remained on the bill last year. We are now down to about $10,000. We are very, very, grateful to her for this, and have vowed to pay her before June 30th, 2014. We need your help to do this! Please help us pay it down: send checks made out to “JPNA” to our new Treasurer, Steve Prendergast, 1815 E. Waverly St, Tucson, AZ 85719. Please include your address on your check so we can thank you! Or, use our PayPal button on this homepage. Thanks! |

JP Annual Home Tour - April 14th (Sunday) 11 am – 4 pm |

To raise funds to pay down our debts and generate money for neighborhood projects, JPNA will be conducting a silent “service auction” during the Home Tour Event. We’re looking for people who will donate services that we can auction. These could be: yard work, pruning, painting, dog walking, pet sitting, music lessons, tutoring, massage, babysitting, cooking, transport, household repairs, shopping. Please send an email at joanchall@yahoo.com or to Joanne at cricket16@cox.net if you have a service you’d like to donate. Let’s make this the Year to Retire the Debt! |

Jefferson Park Goes Historic! |
|
Jefferson Park has received its official designation as Tucson's 31st historic district! It was officially designated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 2012. This designation not only recognizes the historical significance of this neighborhood, but also qualifies the owners of 609 properties for the State Historic Tax Reclassification Program. This tax credit program includes a 45% reduction in annual property taxes for owner-occupants of contributing properties to the district, and also a significant tax break for improvements to income properties that are contributors to the district. The City Preservation Officer, Jonathan Mabry, was instrumental in helping us get this historic designation, and we thank him profusely.
