Economic and Community Development

The Economic and Community Development Department's mission is to stimulate economic vitality by strengthening neighborhoods, building partnerships, and fostering public and private investments in the community.
 
To successfully revitalize a community, three key components must be in place: the hardware (the physical development that enhances a community), the software (the social programs, rules and regulations that keep order), and links to other resources (outside programs and capital that can be leveraged).

  • The Development Division of the department is the hardware of our community development system. It offers mechanisms to build affordable housing, start businesses, purchase a home and revitalize neighborhoods.
