Bella Vista Neighbors Association (BVNA)
Improving the Quality of Life and Serving the Bella Vista Community Since 1992
The Bella Vista Neighbors Association (BVNA) improves Bella Vista's quality of life and strengthens community bonds. BVNA encourages civic involvement, provides a neutral and public discussion forum, preserves and supports our institutions and neighborhood amenities, coordinates and supplements the delivery of government services, communicates timely and relevant information, and promotes dialogue with elected officials. We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit, registered community organization (RCO).
BVNA was originally founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1994 as the Bella Vista Town Watch by a group of concerned citizens in order to be better organized. Both long-term and newer residents came together to address crime rates, blight, and the lack of basic city services. BVTW ran active Town Watch patrols, undertook many neighborhood improvement projects, and generally worked to make our neighborhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
