News around HANA

Arlington city planners are in the process of designing changes to how our city encourages downtown redevelopment. This process will continue through September of this year. HANA board members have attended meetings relative to proposals for enhancing multi-use building permits, parking requirements, and even more walkability. Nothing has yet been finalized, however. To participate yourself, check the city's website for updates: https://www.arlingtonlistens.com/form-based-code-development

Whether it's at our quarterly meetings or special events, HANA wants to communicate with our neighbors on matters of mutual interest, so membership is not required to attend. All residents are welcome. Our membership is also open to neighbors who want to preserve and enhance our quality of life. We are all-volunteer, nonprofit, and nonsectarian. Annual membership dues are $10 per person, and membership is required to vote and sit on our board. Dues and donations are tax-deductible.

Our quarterly meetings are free and open to the public. In 2025, we will continue meeting at Grace Lutheran Church on Park Row, in the center of our neighborhood. Our meetings are held in what's called the Fireside Room. Drive around to the back of their campus and you'll see double-glass doors, and a gymnasium beyond those. The Fireside Room is just down the hallway, next to the gym. Our meetings start at 7pm and end by 9. Light refreshments served.
