The mission of the Community Development Corporation is to use public and private investments to improve the quality of life in the community in which we live, work, and worship and to empower families to become participants in their community. Our aim is to act as an ombudsman for public and private sectors, as a source for ideas, and as a forum for discussion of issues of concern to the community. We aim to build assets, partnerships, and a strong local economy for families, individuals, and institutions by investing in and managing the various programs shown in the following diagram.
