Midtown Neighborhood Association (MNA) began as the Midtown Museum District Neighborhood Association in 2008, initiated by a few tenacious residents of condominiums at Tapestry on Central, seeking greater City representation of their neighborhood. In 2015, the founders incorporated into a 501(c)3 with a mission to organize various social and information-sharing events that provide opportunities for neighbors in Midtown Phoenix to get to know each other. Critical to MNA is the promotion of neighborhood safety and Block Watch groups to reduce crime and vandalism.
