Neighborhood Conservation

The Neighborhood Conservation Program is a mechanism for enhancing and maintaining areas where residents indicate a desire to achieve an improved neighborhood and fulfill a broader vision of the modern "urban village" through coordination of public and private efforts. The County Board created the Neighborhood Conservation Program in 1964 to encourage neighborhoods to create neighborhood improvement plans and to provide dedicated funding to implement those plans. Through the Neighborhood Conservation Program, residents commit to conserve and improve their neighborhood through preparing and updating Neighborhood Conservation Plans that reflect community needs, participating in the deliberations of the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee, and nominating plan-based improvement projects for funding.

Program's Mission: To enhance residential areas by providing citizen-initiated public improvements in a timely manner, based upon regularly-updated, neighborhood-developed plans.
