Why Participate
Benefits of Participation:
County Board Interaction:
When a neighborhood participates in the Neighborhood Conservation program, they become part of a larger community known as the NCAC, which shares their visions and concerns with the County Board. Because the NCAC advises the County Board on matters related to neighborhoods, those visions and concerns can be directly conveyed to Board members. The County Board relies on the NCAC to help guide them on issues that concern neighborhoods. Being part of this relationship allows the County Board to gain a better understanding of issues that affect the neighborhood as a whole.
Take Part in NCAC Activities:
The NCAC advises the County Board on matters related to neighborhoods, and thereby provides participating neighborhoods with enhanced access to the County Board. Specific functions of NCAC include:
- Reviewing all new and amended or updated Neighborhood Conservation Plans and presenting recommendations to the Planning Committee and the County Board for public hearings.
- Developing recommendations for improving the approach and process by which Arlington works to conserve and enhance its Neighborhood Conservation Areas;
- Guide and recommend projects for funding through the Neighborhood Conservation Program with voter approved Bond funding that is reserved for Neighborhood Conservation Areas
Create a Better Neighborhood:
Voter-approved Bond funding is reserved for Neighborhood Conservation Areas for projects involving curb, gutter sidewalk, park and recreation facilities, traffic management, street lights, and beautification.
Assistance:
Staff support is provided to the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee by the Neighborhood Services Division.
