Transformation
CELEBRATING SEVEN YEARS OF COMMITMENT, LEADERSHIP, AND SERVICE!
In 2001, the community around the commercial triangle of Moncrief Rd, Myrtle Ave,
and MLK Expressway enjoyed new commercial development due to the work of Urban Core Enterprise an affiliate of the Black Business Investment Corp. (BBIC).
Collaboration between LISC Jacksonville, The 29th and Chase Neighborhood Association
and the BBIC helped to form Northwest Jacksonville Community Development Corporation (NJCDC).
NJCDC has spearheaded efforts to develop a Neighborhood Action Plan for the 29th and Chase Neighborhood and surrounding areas, bringing new resources to the community.
Through NJCDC efforts, the neighborhood has seen the redevelopment of homes, stronger community leadership and a greater capacity to influence outside organizations seeking to create change in Northwest Jacksonville.
