A group of residents in the northwest Dearborn neighborhood of Howard Park have revived their long-dormant neighborhood association, and are looking for people who want to be involved in planning and organizing future meeting and events.
The Howard Park Neighborhood Association is still in its early stages, but interested citizens have a number of options to contact the group. There’s a newly created website that already features pictures of some of the area’s notable homes and businesses. Also, the group boasts its own pages on both Facebook and MySpace . Or you can simply email them at howardparkneighborhood@yahoo.com.
Officially, the Howard Park Neighborhood Association consists of the area south of Ford Road to Wilson Street, bound by Telegraph to the west and Outer Drive to the east. Howard Elementary School and the adjacent Howard Park sit in the heart of the community.
"Like other neighborhood associations throughout Dearborn, ours can be a helpful conduit between city leaders and our unique community," the group's website reads. "Soon, we hope to have meetings to address questions regarding issues like Dearborn’s Public Service Days and Neighborhood Watch Program."
We'll be sure to let you know when the Howard Park Neighborhood Association calls its first meeting.

Groups like these can only help the city. More people involved in the community means better communication and that's a win-win. Good luck to them.
ReplyDeleteI'll get involved, but I'm not sure the city will become any more responsive to our needs. But then again they couldn't be any LESS responsive, so I guess we have nothing to lose.
ReplyDeleteGood for them. I love the house in the picture! What street is that on? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteKyle, I think this house is actually a bed and breakfast. It's on York right by Howard School.
ReplyDeleteYork House Bed and Breakfast. Great place, I've been there. Used to live on York Street. http://www.yorkhousedearborn.com
