About Grixdale Farms Neighborhood Association

Welcome

Welcome to the Grixdale Farms Neighborhood Association! We are a group of dedicated residents who are passionate about creating a community that we can all be proud to call home. Our association was established on February 20, 2024, and we are excited to work together to build a neighborhood that is safe, welcoming, and full of opportunities for all residents.


Our association is comprised of 11 board members who are committed to representing the interests of our community. Our purpose is to enhance the livability of our area by establishing and maintaining open lines of communication and collaboration between our neighborhood, government agencies, and other neighborhoods. We believe that by working together, we can create a community that is truly special and a place where everyone feels welcome and valued.


One of our main goals is to provide an open and inclusive process by which all members of our neighborhood can involve themselves in the affairs of the community. We believe that everyone has a voice and that everyone's input is valuable. Whether you're a long-time resident or a newcomer, we invite you to join us at our meetings and get involved in shaping the future of our community.


We are committed to transparency, accountability, and integrity. We believe that by working together and being open and honest with each other, we can build a community that is truly exceptional. We are excited to get to know you and work with you to make our neighborhood a place where everyone can thrive. Thank you for joining us on this journey!

Association Boundaries

Our association is bounded by 7 Mile Road to the north, 6 Mile Road (W McNichols Road) to the south, John R Street to the east, and Woodward Avenue to the west.
