49/63 Plats/Homes Associations
The 49/63 Neighborhood Coalition consists
of approximately 3000 households, 300 businesses and 8000 residents.
Believing that smaller neighborhood areas could enable people to get to
know each other and develop a sense of community and to work on issues
affecting that smaller area, the 49/63 Board of Directors - in
the mid-1980's - established a goal to help areas of 49/63 to
organize. The purpose of this organization was not and is not to
replace the 49/63 Neighborhood Coalition but to enable 49/63
to better serve all residents. The Board of Directors envisioned
that much of the organization would occur by plats. At that time,
two areas were already organized - Crestwood (a formal homes
association - one of the oldest in Kansas City) and Troostwood.
Currently, four areas of 49/63 are
formally organized and incorporated as not-for-profit organizations in
the state of Missouri. Residents in several other areas have begun
to organize.
