The Council of Neighborhood Associations is open to neighborhood associations throughout Monroe County.

Why join CONA?

CONA offers an even larger voice as neighborhoods come together to support one another and collaboratively seek solutions to concerns.

CONA is composed of representatives from the member associations. An application form is required where basic information is given about the association's organization and current officers. There is an annual association membership fee. For 2006, the fee is $30.00 per neighborhood association, payable to CONA due by April 1.

A membership application, available through this site, may be completed and sent to us.

We are a neighborhood located in the City of Bloomington, should we register with the City of Bloomington?

YES! In the city, neighborhood associations register with the City of Bloomington through the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) Department. Only registered neighborhoods are eligible for grants that HAND makes available to neighborhoods. (Contact Vickie Provine).

Registration also helps elected and appointed officials find contacts for your neighborhood. City officials often contact HAND for a list of neighborhood association leaders for information on upcoming votes, opportunities and general city decision making. If your neighborhood isn't registered your local council person may not know how to contact you!
