Team Members:
Objectives
3. Teach community residents to overcome the social mentality and transform such
mentality to an economic development mentality.
Mission
The team members will develop a series of Urban Village Visioning plan to convey the
organization’s intention in the targeted neighborhoods.
One of these visioning objective will be Community Economic Power, which should
identify the key leverage points to move from our vision to the reality of a vibrant
multicultural urban village.
We need to build on the community’s many strengths, and rely on residents to set the
direction. This community’s many assets, include its unique ethnic composition (African
American, Latino, Cape Verdean, and white), a widespread interest in gardening and
agriculture, the richness of its colonial history as well as the current interest in its
revitalization efforts, point the way to certain assets-based approaches.
