We are a neighborhood association striving to maintain and improve the quality of life in College Place, a community in Columbia, South Carolina, adjacent to Columbia College in an area known as Eau Claire. It operates several thrift Stores where many many households find low cost furniture and clothing. The Highland Park subdivision located in northeast Columbia, was developed in early 1966. The Civic Club was formerly organized in 1968, with Lawrence Corley and Paul Weldon as primary organizers. This group holds meetings to discuss the many issues that are specifically related to Belmont.
Membership is open to all residents of Belmont.
The mission of the Edgewood Neighborhood Council is to provide a safe, clean neighborhood that residents can take pride in. Elmwood Avenue,Waverly Street, Oak Street, Gordon Street, Harper Street, and Barnhamville Road made up the Edgewood neighborhood. The council promotes awareness of the neighborhood through activities such as organized clean-up days in the neighborhood and an Annual Tea held on the 4th Sunday in August. The Annual Tea is held at three different area churches, Emanual AME, Trinity Baptist, and 2nd Nazareth Baptist. Funds raised help elderly members of the community and those in need.
