Are you a resident?
Residents of Meriwether-Fort Hill can select FREE services for their property, such as smoke detector installation, tree plantings, home repairs, mobile doctor visits, and a whole lot more! On our BIG BOB Day (or before!), we will bring these services directly to residents.
We’ll be going door-to-door in January and February with a menu for residents to make their selections. If you’re not home when we knock, we’ll leave a door hanger with all the information you need. Residents can also fill out the form online by clicking the button below.
