civic association

Local residents' organization

A civic association is a local organization of residents who work together on neighborhood concerns—zoning issues, street maintenance, crime prevention, community events.

These groups advocate for their area's interests before local government and often collect dues to fund improvements or activities.

The civic association opposed the proposed high-rise development.
