Within each village and Town Center are residential neighborhoods with names
drawn from an historic or literary influence.
Each village has its own residential community
association, which is an independent, incorporated,
nonprofit civic association formed exclusively
for the promotion of the common good and welfare
of the residents and property owners of that village.
Each association has similar – yet separate
– Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and
Covenants. Each has its own community-elected
Board of Directors.
The community associations administer the village
Covenants, manage CA’s community buildings,
advocate for their residents in all aspects of
community life and foster community participation
on a grassroots level. The community association
office is located in the village’s community
center building.
Each community center has a unique design and
personality. Community centers feature classes
for everyone from tots to senior citizens, full
kitchens and space to rent for meetings, parties
and special events. The community associations
sponsor free seminars, political forums, fairs
and holiday parties. Activities sponsored by the
various community associations are open to all
residents of Columbia regardless of the village
in which you live. All community centers are accessible
to those with disabilities.
The staff of each village is knowledgeable and
always happy to talk with residents. Your village
community association is a place where you should
feel comfortable going to share your concerns,
suggestions and feelings about your neighborhood
– you will always be welcomed.
