Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee

The Neighborhood Conservation Program was created by the County Board in 1964 as a tool to provide funding for a variety of capital improvement projects such as sidewalks, curbs and gutters, streetlights, park improvements, neighborhood art, and beautification. As a participating neighborhood, Ashton Heights is represented by a Neighborhood Conservation Representative that participates on the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC), a body that selects plan based improvement projects for funding. Projects are based on written plans submitted to the County for review and acceptance.
