The Fayetteville Council of Neighborhoods was established to promote and enhance the quality, stability and vitality of the various neighborhoods in the city of Fayetteville; to provide a forum for neighborhood associations to share information, experiences, concerns, and ideas; and to help facilitate communication between neighborhoods through their associations and government agencies. Some of the efforts the council makes to improve the quality of life in Fayetteville include; recognizing businesses that make an extra effort to beautify their property in Fayetteville’s commercial sectors; holding educational and informational meetings on various topics, such as low impact development; and sponsoring community initiatives, such as Crosswalk Safety Day.
