Board of Administrative Appeals (BOAA) – Help review administrative determinations, evaluate evidence and testimony, conduct public hearings, and render fair and unbiased decisions.

🤝 Building Community at the Sycamore Substation

The Sycamore Substation is becoming more than a physical space — it’s becoming a place for connection, support, and community resources.

This past Saturday, CareGiver OneCall launched The Sandwich Circle, a free monthly support group for family caregivers and the first of several community partnerships being hosted at the Substation.

The program marks an important step in the City’s vision to activate the Sycamore Substation as a community hub, connecting residents in the Sycamore corridor with trusted organizations, services, and resources close to home.

We’re excited to see this space continue to grow and serve our community!

A vintage neighborhood park received a much welcomed makeover.
Jacobsen Park’s many renovations and additions were revealed on Friday afternoon to an appreciative group of families from the Garrow Estates neighborhood. 🛝 🧗
At one point in the 1960s this park, one of the oldest in Antioch, had a decommissioned front portion of a jet as its centerpiece attraction. Long-time residents still lovingly refer to this area as “Jet Park.” ✈️
Jacobsen Park is now sure to offer new warm memories as was evident by the many children enjoying the newly installed play area. 😍
Thanks to all who attended this grand opening and much appreciation to the many City of Antioch crews who made it come to life. 👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾
