Message from our President

NCBC has historically been recognized as one of the most effective and highly respected Civic Associations in Lower Merion. As we build on our past successes, we strive to be more inclusive and representative of our diverse community. We are committed to shaping commercial and residential development so that it preserves and improves our high quality of life without exacerbating problems like overcrowding, traffic congestion, and excessive urbanization of our suburban community. This is done both through advocacy efforts and educating our members about land development and other issues affecting our community through this website, newsletters, email communications and regular monthly meetings that are open to everyone in our community. Our website has been designed as a community resource to be visited frequently and to encourage both old and new residents to join us in our important work. We welcome you.
