RSS FeedDowntown Neighborhood Association President Miles Groves Passes Away
A tireless advocate for residents downtown and a community leader, Miles Groves, Downtown Neighborhood Association President, passed away the afternoon of Sunday, March 7 according to a statement on the DNA website. Miles was instrumental in bringing the DNA into being and forming an association that was effective in bonding together downtown residents on key issues that affected the neighborhood as a whole. From assisting with voluntary ABRA agreements to addressing the temporary influx of teens in Chinatown to getting residents acquainted with local business owners to ensuring Councilmember, Mayoral and city official appearances before downtown constituents, Miles continuously worked for the betterment of the neighborhood and a residential quality of life. His civic accomplishments were many and he will be missed.
The monthly DNA meeting will not be held tonight at the Calvary Baptist Church as it normally would. Instead, a special DNA meeting will be held in honor of Miles on March 24 and more details on that meeting will be forthcoming. The (Mount Vernon) Triangle web site also has a short story on Miles.
