In the first days of the revitalization of the Grant Park neighborhood, when only a handful of people envisioned the potential of this urban neighborhood, the Association to Revive Grant Park (ARGP) was formed. ARGP, begun in 1973, was the largest of three civic organizations in the neighborhood. The association’s purpose was to help preserve and promote Grant Park as a viable community. In 1975, ARGP was incorporated as a non-profit organization. In the late 1980's the name was changed to the Grant Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA). Today, the Association brings together residents of Grant Park who are interested in promoting, protecting and strengthening the neighborhood. The Association annually sponsors the Grant Park Tour of Homes and the Moth Ball, which are both in late September. The GPNA holds a general meeting each month. Refer to the calendar of events for meeting times and location.
