RESIDENT LEADERSHIP REBUILDING THE COMMUNITY

Comprised of voluntary residents who have joined together to provide an organized framework to promote improvement in our neighborhood's appearance, provide vigilance against crime and enhance the communication and unity between all Benton Park residents.
