Since 1960, the Edgewater Community Council has brought neighbors, block clubs, community groups, faith-based organizations, and the business community together to improve and advance the quality of life.  It offers outreach to immigrants and seniors in need, works to stabilize problem rental buildings, provides after-school and summer programs in art and gardening to low-income youth, presents community information seminars like our July seminar on property reassessments featuring practical advice from a local property tax expert, addresses safety concerns with neighborhood building and crime prevention activities, offers local artists the opportunity to display their work in vacant storefronts (thereby also enlivening the street), and provides forums for the discussion of local issues—to name just a few of its 2009 activities.
