Mid City Times

Have you been looking for a way to get in contact with other neighborhoods in Arlington? Are you interested in starting a neighborhood group in your neighborhood? Have you wondered how your neighborhood can be more involved in the City of Arlington?

The Neighborhood Leadership Network (NLN) is a working group for neighborhood leaders across the City of Arlington to build relationships with other neighborhood leaders, learn best practices for a variety of neighborhood issues and develop a partnership with the City. The NLN is a resource for strengthening neighborhood leaders and providing resources that will empower Arlington neighborhoods to achieve neighborhood and community goals.

The next in-person Neighborhood Leadership Network Meeting is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024, at the City Council Chamber, located between Downtown Library and City Hall at 101 W. Abram St. Networking and refreshments are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Please RSVP by Monday, Feb.19 to neighborhoods@arlingtontx.gov. For questions, call 817-459-6254.

Topics include the City’s new trash cart service, the Neighborhood Matching Grant Program, and capital project updates. Visit the Neighborhood Leadership Network website for more information and to apply to join!

The Neighborhood Leadership Network meets quarterly to discuss pertinent neighborhood issues and to learn about City initiatives affecting neighborhoods throughout Arlington. The members of the Neighborhood Leadership Network will also be included in an email listserv for neighborhood-related discussions throughout the year.

All NLN meetings are open to all Arlington neighbors who are interested in becoming more involved with their neighborhood. If you’re not sure where to start, City of Arlington Neighborhood Engagement Program staff will work with you and provide tools and resources to bring your neighborhood together!
