By-Laws

NLNA Initiatives

Since it was established in 2001, the North Loop Neighborhood Association has been dedicated to enhancing the livability of our North Loop community. The Board of Directors, Planning+Zoning committee, specially-focused committees, and businesses and residents, continue to work together to make our neighborhood a vibrant, thriving community.

Here are a few of our current initiatives:

North Loop Park

A North Loop Park Scoping Study, performed in 2013, highlighted the need for a neighborhood park, particularly given the increasing population and business growth. The North Loop Park Steering Committee is actively engaged in pursuing this NLNA objective.

Community Garden

Efforts are underway to explore ways in which we can bring community gardening to the North Loop.

NLNA Organics Recycling

Expanding our neighborhood recycling to include organics can contribute positively to the environment and make the North Loop a more sustainable neighborhood.
