Community leaders across Erie County are coming together to begin a public conversation around the potential formation of a Community Development Corporation, a community-based organization designed to strengthen neighborhoods, expand housing opportunities, support workforce development, and attract long-term investment.<\/p>\n
The first Caf\u00e9-Style Community Development Conversation will be held on July 28 at Sandusky Intermediate School, 2020 Hayes Ave. Doors will open at 4 p.m., with the meeting beginning at 4:30.<\/p>\n
This initiative is being convened by United Way of Erie County in partnership with local organizations and community leaders, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
A CDC is a nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life in a community through strategic development. Across the country, CDCs help communities build affordable and workforce housing, redevelop vacant properties, support local businesses, strengthen neighborhoods, and align public and private resources to create lasting, community-driven impact.<\/p>\n
