Deputy Mayor<br />

Super Neighborhood Community Covenant<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mayor and <strong>City</strong> Council are committed to actively engaging the community in all aspects of<br />

municipal government. . An involved and informed community is central to the revitalization<br />

and prosperity of our neighborhoods and communities. Thus, the Super Neighborhood<br />

Community Covenant (SNCC) initiative seeks to increase meaningful and consistent citizen<br />

participation and collaboration.<br />

A Super Neighborhood is a geographically designated area where homeowners, tenant<br />

associations, civic organizations, non-profits, educational institutions and businesses work<br />

together to identify, plan, and set priorities to address common needs and concerns.<br />

Currently there are ten Super Neighborhoods: Forest Hill (North Ward), Ironbound (East Ward),<br />

Lincoln Park, Springfield/Belmont (Central Ward), Weequahic Park (South Ward), Clinton Hill,<br />

Fairmount, Lower Roseville, University Heights, and West Side Park.<br />

For further information on how you can join your local Super Neighborhood group, please call<br />
