Marina Bay Neighborhood Council


“The Neighborhood Council provides the machinery for citizens to function directly in shaping their own community life.” — Lucretia Edwards

Who We Are...

The City of Richmond enabled the formation of Neighborhood Councils in recognition of the value of self-governance. The Marina Bay Neighborhood Council provides a forum for all Marina Bay residents to exchange ideas on community issues, to help solve neighborhood problems, and to function as a resource for information concerning public and private agencies, government entities, and the legislative process.

  • We are organized and managed by Marina Bay residents.
  • Everyone has an opportunity to speak out to make a difference in the Marina Bay neighborhood.
  • We are empowered to act on issues of crime, traffic, local schools, policies, and intended actions of governmental bodies.
  • We assist in making the changes necessary for building a clean, safe, and attractive environment in which to live.
  • Our success depends on the active involvement of volunteers, both residents and business owners, to get to know each other and to work together to promote a thriving community.
  • At our meetings, we cannot as an organization or as individuals representing the organization, discuss, support, or oppose candidates for office.
  • We can, however, support or oppose causes and measures and on occasion may vote whether or not to endorse such a cause or measure.

Our strength comes from our membership. The more members we have, the louder our “voice”. Please join the Marina Bay Neighborhood Council so that we can be heard.
