Who We Are & What We Do

The Thomas Square Neighborhood Association was established in 2015 by residents in an effort to organize community members that live, work, and have an interest in the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District. Today's organization was created through the merger of two prior neighborhood associations, the Metropolitan Community Organization and the Thomas Square Neighborhood Association, to better represent the entirety of the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District.
