Problem Solving Philosophy 

GCA efforts on behalf of the community spring from a philosophy of cooperation.  We believe that a community is made up of three entities, all of which have an equal share in the responsibility of ensuring that Granger is the best community it can be.  These entities are the homeowners and residents of the community, the businesses in the community, and the local government officials who represent the community. 

 For any of the issues listed above to be effectively addressed, all three of these entities must be engaged equally in a cooperative effort that seeks solutions that work for all.
