Neighborhood Meet and Greet Sept 2 at 7pm

Greenland Hills United Methodist Church

Paul Ridley will advocate for Lower Greenville residents and neighboring areas with his recent election to Dallas City Council representing District 14. Get to meet him, learn what’s on his mind and pose questions during our Meet and Greet Thursday, September 2, at 7 p.m. at Greenland Hills United Methodist Church at 5835 Penrose Avenue. This event is co-sponsored with Vickery Place Neighborhood Association (VPNA).

Ridley has lived in an Old East Dallas historic district for 28 years with his wife, Joan. He has extensive experience in city planning with master’s degrees in architecture and urban planning, as a licensed architect, and as a lawyer specializing in construction law and commercial litigation.

Ridley also has a long history of public service with eight years on the Dallas Plan Commission, four years on the Dallas Landmark Commission and 12 years on the Greater Dallas Planning Council, previously serving as president.

“I believe strongly in neighborhood self-determination and look forward to advocating for the interests of D14 neighborhoods on City Council,” Ridley shared.

Please note, masks are required to enter the church.
