Jersey City, NJ –The Downtown Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (DCNA) is pleased to announce its newest member association, the Village Neighborhood Association (VNA). At its meeting on October 12th, 2011, the DCNA voted unanimously to approve the VNA’s application to join the DCNA. This brings the DCNA’s total number of member associations to six.
“After a long process that included a redrawing of our mutual borders to comply with the DCNA’s bylaws, I’m happy to welcome the VNA into the Coalition. They are a vibrant organization who have done wonderful things for their neighborhood and Downtown as a whole in their short existence,” said Mike Francisco, President of the Harsimus Cove Association (HCA) and DCNA.
VNA President Rob Crow added, “I can still remember the first sit-down I had with [VNA vice president] Jim Ayers, [former HCA president] Eric Fleming and [former Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association president] Jen Greeley that cold Winter day back in 2007 when we first started discussing this. To see it finally happen makes me both proud and excited to roll up my sleeves!”
