The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to help NCACDC develop successful commercial ventures statewide involving community development corporations, their partners and the low wealth communities they serve. NCACDC will select from the participants in its training sessions, a minimum of 3-5 commercial development projects based on need and such factors as high levels of unemployment, dislocated workers, and identified attractive commercial sites. Project participants will receive intensive peer-to-peer, long-term, hands-on technical assistance to develop and implement all stages of the projects through completion.
