SuperNeighborhood - Westbury #37
|
Westbury became a recognized SuperNeighborhood in 2005. The Westbury SuperNeighborhood is led by the Westbury Civic Club Board President and the Westbury Area Improvement Corporation President. The Westbury SuperNeighborhood meeting is also the monthly meeting for the Westbury Area Improvement Corporation.

What is a SuperNeighborhood?
The City of Houston is divided into 88 "SuperNeighborhoods" where residents of neighboring communities are encouraged to work together to identify, plan, and set priorities to address the needs and concerns of their community.
Each SuperNeighborhood operates via a council whose members are stakeholders such as civic clubs, HOAs, tenant associations, chambers of commerce, non-profits, educational and faith-based institutions. SuperNeighborhood councils serve as forums for stakeholders to interact with elected and other officials, discuss issues, develop improvement plans, build consensus and prioritize needs. Westbury is so large that we make up our own SuperNeighborhood.
