Mid-City Neighborhood Organization

From New Orleans Wiki

Mid-City Neighborhood Organization (MCNO) is a civic group active in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. It was formed in April, 1990 by the merger of two civic associations: the Mid-City Improvement Association (founded 1974) and the City Park Mid-City Improvement Association (founded 1971). These associations were formed to responded to threats to Mid City in the 1970’s from the decline of the physical appearance of properties, the exodus of long-term residents and zoning changes that allowed speculators to change residential properties to industrial and commercial use. Their efforts were largely successful and today Mid City is a lively

area of New Orleans, solidly residential but also home to many small businesses that serve the area. The organization’s main goal is to improve the quality of life for all residents of the Mid-City neighborhood.

MCNO has drafted a Mid-City Recovery Plan and formed Mid-City Recovery Committees.
