Would anyone be interested in starting a Neighborhood Association for the Fulton Hill Area?

9 Comments »

I would like to get some feedback on starting a Neighborhood Association for Fulton Hill. Now I know what comes to mind when you think of a Neighborhood Association – You can only paint your house a certain color, you have to have your trashcans hidden by a wooden structure or you can’t put lawn ornaments in your yard. Yes, those are rules but rules people in other Neighborhood Associations have put into place. With a Neighborhood Association you as residents are the ones that create the rules and guidelines but they are much more then that. An association can help bring the community together, it gets people involved in the happenings of the community, addresses safety issues, crime, blight but overall it

    Isn’t there already a Greater Fulton Civic Association?

    There is…but I think it is different from an actual Neighborhood Association. Do they create and enforce rules dealing with property?

  3. posted by vmallonee at July 31, 2008 1:14 pm :

    As a side note I will email Bobby Vickers about it. If they do handle issues such as blight and property use I will go to a meeting and see if we can get more action taken on offenders.

    The mission statement of the GFCA includes this:

    Our purpose is to promote the health, safety, and well-being of the residents of Fulton, Fulton Hill, and Montrose Heights. We encourage communication to identify the needs of the community and we encourage all residents to work together to address those needs and to work to improve the overall quality of life in our community.

    Yeah I read that from their mission statement…though I wonder if they actually have any rules on property issues? I emailed Bobby to ask.

    GFCA addresses all the concerns in your article, please come to a meeting, you will surprised at the information available.

    I am! I am so happy there is one and that they do enforce property issues. The City is obviously incapable of following its own ordinances.

    When is the next GFCA meeting? I would like to attend.

    The next meeting of the Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association is scheduled for October 14 at 7:00 PM at the Neighborhood Resource Center-1519 Williamsburg Road.
