What is the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association?

In an effort to help ease racial tensions and make Meridian-Kessler a neighborhood that was safe and welcoming to all, the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association was established in 1965. With leaders from area churches, namely Meridian Heights Presbyterian and Womack Memorial CME church, the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association was established to:

●      Bring about a closer relationship between all people and provide a service for all newcomers

●      Monitory zoning and guard against illegal conversations of single-family housing

●      Maintain quality schools in the area

●      Provide adequate municipal services for all residents

Over time, the organization has grown to meet the various needs of the ever-changing and growing community.
