Local Impact
The impact that GAVA has had on the Fair Haven community and local businesses since its inception has been considerable. For example, GAVA has successfully held community clean-ups, which are now held on a monthly basis. The organization has provided technical assistance, access to business planning and financing to small businesses. It has also been instrumental in the development and architectural planning to the Grand Avenue commercial corridor.
GAVA also continues to support and host events in the International Arts & Ideas Festival, a popular annual festival held each July in New Haven, Connecticut.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or impact:
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
