Phelps 
Neighborhood
Association

"Our mission is to make our neighborhood a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable place to live, a neighborhood of friends working together for the benefit of all residents"

Founded in 1989, the Phelps Neighborhood Association is a not for profit residents association. The association has been advocate, guardian, and spokesperson for the Phelps Grove neighborhood. We have continually sought to improve the neighborhood since our inception. Our responsibilities to the neighborhood vary from sponsoring annual "stick and leaf pickups" and a neighborhood garage sale to being involved in complicated zoning, and urban planning issues.

This association is not passive when it comes to tackling problems, no matter how difficult.  We initiated and formed the working collaboration, that now exists between Missouri State University, the City of Springfield, and the neighborhood.  This collaboration works together toward solving many of our neighborhood issues. We were once described by one "official" as being "persistent if not tenacious" about getting results.

Other, PNA projects have been the funding of the Dollison Ave. corridor landscape improvements, sponsoring an "somewhat" annual House Tour , and an annual Concert Series benefiting area charities.

The association also publishes a newsletter titled, "Neighbor to Neighbor"  on a semi-periodic schedule to be sent out to our members.  The newsletter has now become an e-mail publication. (saving our resources!!)  Keeping our members and neighbors informed of happenings.  (We only publish when there is news to relay, no need to create junk mail.)

The association is open to any household who lives within the Phelps Grove Neighborhood.  The yearly dues are $10. We hope you join!  It takes everyone to make good things happen!!  To join just send us a name(s) address and dues.
