The Central Neighborhood Council

The Central Neighborhood Council is one of eight Neighborhood Councils in the City of Tacoma.

The Neighborhood Council Program - Tacoma's history and its neighborhoods go back to its earliest settlements. From the time Old Town and New Tacoma united to form the City of Tacoma in 1884,

neighborhoods have served as the foundation upon which Tacoma has been built.

Today, with the formation of neighborhood councils, citizens and city government

continue to build on that foundation by focusing on the places about which people

care the most — their neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Councils are citizen groups based in each of eight neighborhoods which

actively participate in shaping the future of Tacoma. The City Council created the councils

to broaden citizen input and to give greater representation in city government.
