Coal Creek Canyon
Improvement Association
The Coal Creek Canyon Improvement Association (CCCIA) has long served the community in a variety of ways. In earlier times the Association’s mission was to help bring utility services to the Canyon, to lobby for paving Highway 72, and to help establish the Volunteer Fire Department.
Today, the CCCIA strives to find new ways to serve the community. Supporting local kids’ groups, providing scholarships, and contributing to emergency community needs is our continued mission.
As stewards of the Coal Creek Canyon Community Center, we also are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Center, which is used regularly by many local organizations.
Mission
Purpose statement: CCCIA’s purpose is to nurture and enhance a connected community by maintaining a welcoming and inclusive community center.
Mission statement: We are dedicated to fostering educational and social opportunities that enrich the lives of our residents and local businesses. We are committed to providing a space where everyone feels welcome, valued and inspired to contribute to the enrichment of our canyon community and its youth
New mission and purpose statement. Ratified by CCCIA board at 2/11/25 meeting.
