HPBA
The Highland Park Business association returned to in person meetings recently at The Woodward Bistro in Highland Park. Closed in March of 2020 when the height of the Covid-19 virus took effect for millions of people around the world, The HPBA ceased in-person meetings.

We look forward to all of the activity of the HPBA in the next coming months and for years to come.
The recent gathering reaffirmed their commitment to Highland Park and working with business, new and old and our new administration and city council to affect change in our community.
