What We Do
Seville Village Improvement Association (SVIA) was formed in 1914 to bring positive change to our community. Most recently, SVIA has worked to not only preserve the historic Seville School, but to also make enhancements for its use as a community center such as the creation of a free lending library complete with computer workstations and internet access. Our work is just beginning…
Our Mission
Seville VIA is committed to preserving the historic past of our community while promoting change to insure a bright future for Seville and it’s residents.
