WHO WE ARE

The Greater North End Community Development, Inc., formerly known as North End Crime Watch & Community Development, Inc., was started in 1994 by Reverend Joshua A. McClure, Pete Pelchat and Tom Daniewicz to protect and revitalize Westerly's North End.  GNECD's board members come from many backgrounds and they encourage all "North Enders" to come to the Open Meetings and get involved.  Please contact us with your comments, suggestions or concerns. 

OUR MISSION

The Greater North End Community Development, Inc., is committed to preserving, protecting and revitalizing the cultural, social and neighbor-hood character of the historic North End in Westerly, RI.
