History

              A group of Lansing's neighborhood leaders met in 1980 for the purpose of forming an organization which would help strengthen and support the many neighborhood associations that were emerging throughout Lansing.  They recognized the need for one entity that would coordinate, support, and guide the efforts of neighborhood groups as they formed and grew.  They wanted an organization that would provide a communication network between neighborhoods but yet accomplish this with the understanding that each and every neighborhood association was distinctive and independent in its own right.  The Lansing Neighborhood Council was formed to fulfill these wishes.  The Council today has not only retained these concepts originally envisioned for it, but has become an extremely effective network for the community organizations within our city.  Today's Lansing Neighborhood Council is completely devoted to our neighborhoods and it shows!
