Retail DiversityA diversity of local independent retail shops and services is an essential part of life in the East Village. EVCC continues to press for any and all measures to support the small businesses that keep our neighborhood livable and attractive. (more…) 
SustainabilityWhat do you see when you look uptown or downtown from the East Village? Towers. EVCC works to protect our walkable, tree-lined streets, one of the main reasons people love living here. We champion better public transportation for our community and encourage human-powered transportation, the best way to appreciate our neighborhood. 
Preserving the culture of the East VillageThe EVCC works alongside our coalition partners to expand Historic Districts and Individual Landmarks protections in our community. Each of our neighborhood’s historic buildings has a story to tell. |
