ABOUT NRCoNA
The New Rochelle Confederation of Neighborhood Associations (NRCoNA) was organized in 1999 out of a general recognition that the individual neighborhoods often face common issues and common concerns, but that fighting City Hall, individually, one-by-one, is a losing proposition. The neighborhoods realized that they could support and help one another and that they would have a stronger voice by uniting. Among the first neighborhoods to join the Confederation were Davenport Neck, Halcyon Park, South End Civic League, Rochelle Park, and East End Civic League. Today, the Confederation consists of 88 neighborhood associations from north to south, east to west.

The Confederation adopted ByLaws in March 2000. The ByLaws state that the objective of the Confederation is to join together to promote awareness of issues affecting the residents of the City of New Rochelle and to effect responsive City Government. The Confederation's goal is to be proactive as well as reactive to issues relating to the residents, their neighborhoods, and the local environment. The Confederation is committed to working with the City Government and its efforts to arrive at sound solutions that promote the overall interests of the entire city of New Rochelle.

The Confederation meets once each month, except in July and August, and once in November/December, unless a special meeting is called. The Confederation meetings are focused on:

Sharing timely information on such issues as:

City, school, and library budgets, services, and programs
Commercial and residential development
Fire and public safety
Sustainability
New Rochelle Armory
Relocation of the City Yard

Listening to neighborhood concerns and assisting neighborhoods in achieving solutions:

Ikea and New Roc City proposals
CVS Weyman Avenue and, now, North Avenue
Water pressure problems
Iona sprawl
Widening and "heightening" of North Avenue
Shiloh Baptist Church and Bethesda Baptist Church housing projects

Identifying possible candidates for the Planning and Zoning Boards and other ad hoc committees, e.g., the Environmental Advisory Committee, and advisory boards, e.g., the Sustainability Advisory Board, established by the City Council
Hosting educational programs, such as:

The responsibilities of the Planning and Zoning Boards
The Emergency Services of the Red Cross
Presentations, panels, and round tables with City Council members
Candidate Forums
