Our goals:

  • To be a community advocate

  • To be a catalyst for public discourse

  • To keep residents informed

  • To promote citizen involvement

  • To reflect diversity and improve the overall quality of life for residents

  • To be a resource for the local, independent businesses that are central to the community's unique and vibrant character.

The success of the Heights Observer and its committment to the goals list above relies on donations, and yours can make a difference. Please consider making a donation to FutureHeights, publisher of the Heights Observer, through Network for Good.
