Binghamton Neighborhood Assemblies (BNAs) are grassroots, neighborhood organizations that were established in each of Binghamton’s eight neighborhoods to encourage citizen* participation in city government. Working as neighborhood advocacy/action groups, NAs help improve communication between the citizens of Binghamton and city government through regular meetings scheduled in each neighborhood. BNAs serve as organized, democratic forums where neighbors can learn about public issues that affect them and advise city representatives of their concerns and needs. From stop signs to major development projects, the BNAs offer residents an innovative way to not only learn of neighborhood and city issues, but actively participate in and engage the planning and decision-making process of local government. *Citizens are defined as residents, businesses, not-for-profits, community organizations and educational institutions.
