Bronzeville Neighborhood Association

Bronzeville Neighborhood Association Welcome to Bronzeville Neighborhood Association Welcome to the Bronzeville Neighborhood Association! Join us in building a thriving community for all! Vernon St.

Our mission is to knit back the fabric of Bronzeville through appropriate and sustainable development for all people. We are a historic, identifiable, ethnic, living, and breathing neighborhood with boundaries from Broad Street to the South, I-670 to the North, Taylor Avenue to the East, and Jefferson Avenue to the West. Our objectives include promoting social and economic diversity, preserving ou

r brick streets and alley, improving the quality of education, addressing neighborhood crime, supporting small businesses, expanding youth programs, and promoting Bronzeville's history. Bronzeville Columbus is a historic African American neighborhood on the near east side of Columbus, Ohio. It was named after the Bronzeville community in Chicago and was settled by African Americans in the early 1900s. The community flourished and developed rapidly, with a strong center of commerce on Mt. and a residential corridor with commercial pockets along Long St. The neighborhood was home to jazz clubs, theaters, schools, and businesses owned by African Americans. However, desegregation, the construction of Interstate 71, and urban renewal initiatives in the 1950s and 1960s caused a decline in the neighborhood's population and economy, leaving many families in poverty. Today, the Bronzeville neighborhood association aims to preserve and promote Bronzeville's history and work towards appropriate and sustainable development for all people.
