Hi Jocelyn. Thanks for contacting CTB.
Unfortunately, CTB offers online resources only, so I can't call you. It sounds like you are off to a good start in terms of building a case and process one step at a time. I will check off some sections below that might be of assistance. Your description of your community suggests that you might start talking to other neighbors soon, to locate some allies willing to join in your effort. When you develop a written preliminary plan/strategy, be sure to label it "Draft," because other allies will have ideas and suggest changes that will strengthen both the plan and their willingness to be involved as they are heard and incorporated in the ultimate strategy. You will need involved allies.
I hope this is helpful and best wishes for success in your initiative.
