Establishing a neighborhood association involves organizing residents, defining boundaries, creating bylaws, and registering with the city. Engaging with existing associations in District 2 can provide insights and support as you establish your own.

I hope these resources assist you in your efforts to revitalize your neighborhood, organize litter cleanups, and establish a neighborhood association in Omaha's District 2.
