Neighborhood Associations
Getting involved in your local neighborhood association is a great way to get to know your neighbors and band together to try and help your neighborhood’s specific needs.
Neighborhood associations are going to play a larger role in the new form of city government to lobby the new district-elected officials so now is a great time to get involved!
