Up close with Hal Phillips, from the Eastown Community Association (08-16-25)

On this week's episode, we welcome Hal Phillips, board chair of the Eastown Community Association.

The Eastown Community Association is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit Neighborhood Association that was formed through the joint efforts of Aquinas College and Eastown residents in 1973. The ECA works with City officials, the Grand Rapids Police Department, other nonprofit organizations, and area businesses.

The Eastown Community Association also works closely with the Eastown Business Association on improvement projects within the business district.

Some of the many signature events sponsored by The Eastown Community Association are Community Bike Rides, Bizarre Bazaar, held in mid-June each year, and the fast-approaching Eastown Street Fair, on Saturday, September 6.

The mission of The Eastown Community Association is to foster a safe, diverse, and walkable Eastown neighborhood by creating opportunities for neighbors and friends to engage and connect.
