Recognized neighborhood associations foster communication by distributing information so that residents can make informed decisions; enabling two-way communication between neighborhoods and city government on matters of interest such as zoning changes, redevelopment projects, park projects and small area plans; and creating smaller venues for interaction. Recognized neighborhood associations also build community through cooperative action by organizing voluntary projects based on community interests; supporting other City programs such as Adopt-a-Park, Neighbors Home Watch and Nite to Unite; promoting social activities; and ensuring neighborhood safety and security.
