About RCNC
Our History
The Richland County Neighborhood Council was first organized in 1978 for the purpose of linking County neighborhood organizations to Richland County Government on the premise that it would render improved services. The RCNC (whose membership included 40 organizations in the early days and now has over 60 member communities and neighborhoods) structure consist of an executive committee and various committees.
RCNC became inactive in 1991 and resumed as an active organization in 1996. As before, the organization continues to serve as a mechanism or umbrella of neighborhood organizations whose representatives gather to share and receive information that greatly impacts the quality of life for the citizens of those communities. By doing so, RCNC members address pertinent issues by presenting informative program with the cooperation and assistance of the Richland County Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP). The RCNC is in the process of obtaining 501(c)3 status with the IRS.
In February 2010, The Richland County Council passed a resolution to endorse and support the RCNC for as long as the organization exists.
