Mission Statement

Building a sense of community through partnerships, shared history and culture, and the creation of neighborhood places that serve all of Arlington.

The Neighborhood Services Division reinforces the County Board’s commitment to healthy and vibrant neighborhoods and works to actively involve residents in civic and neighborhood affairs. Our services coordinate the County’s various neighborhood preservation and improvement programs and are tailored to meet the needs of community members.
