Beverly Area Planning Association
The Beverly Area Planning Association (BAPA) was founded in 1947 and restructured in 1972 as a not-for-profit Illinois corporation. It serves as the central organization for community organizations in the Beverly Hills/Morgan Park communities and thereby provides a forum for the discussion of concerns common to the area. The Association coordinates and implements comprehensive plans designed to improve the community through programs in housing, education, economic development, marketing, and special events. BAPA also publishes a free monthly newspaper.
