Using the Virginia room as a resource for local history has lead me to be curious about current renovations that the community is making to improve the neighborhood. As I was researching I found a newspaper article in The Washington Post titled "New Neighborhood Plan Breathes New Life Into Alcova Heights" by Elizabeth Shorb. This article talks about Alcova's history and what exactly draws people to the neighborhood. The population in Alcova Heights increased by a lot in the early 1920's, and as time passed the NCAC made many changes in the community by fixing sidewalks, gutters, and other landscaping projects. Currently, the NCAC is working on installing street lights to all their streets, and they're continuing to work hard to meet their present and future needs.
