About the Newtonville Area Council:

The nine-member Newtonville Area Council (NAC) is an official elected body under the City Charter. Its purpose is to facilitate communication between Newtonville residents and the City Council and other city departments. It also serves as a forum/mechanism for dealing with various local issues and for fostering community spirit through special events such as Village Day.

2013 was the inaugural year of the Newtonville Area Council. It was the third of Newton’s villages, following Newton Highlands (1974) and Upper Falls (2011), to take advantage of the Newton city charter’s provision allowing for the creation of neighborhood area councils “to encourage citizen involvement in government at the neighborhood level by permitting limited self-government.”

It also serves as a forum/mechanism for dealing with various local issues and for fostering community spirit through special events such as Village Day.

We hope that you engage with us by joining us for our meetings, engaging in our events and reaching out to one of our members.
