Suburban Terrace Civic Association

Suburban Terrace Civic Association of Old Jefferson encompasses all the area located between the Railroad Tracks, River Road, St. George, and Lions St./Hyman Drive. We are open to all residents and businesses within our boundaries.

The Suburban Terrace Civic Association began July 27, 1970, with twenty-seven founding members. The motto “Striving to Preserve Our Neighborhood” continues to be the goal of the organization. In this area, rich in history and culture, families have stayed and homes have been handed down for several generations. Using the foresight and vision of the first members, this neighborhood continues to come together to keep the old ways alive and embrace the future.

The association meets every other month at the Golden Age Center at Jefferson Playground. At each meeting officers from the JPSO give a report on crime in our area. The district council person also provides updates and answer questions the residents may have. There are guest speakers who give presentations on a variety of topics. The association has been very active in cleaning up blighted properties in our area and the beautification of Jefferson Hwy.
