Are YOU a Community Developer?

Although economic development is a major contributing factor in community development, it also encompasses real estate, commercial and industrial development. The process of developing a community emphasizes economy strengthening, generating social ties and creating a niche in the non-profit sector. Creating a sustainable community involves fostering economic revitalization and opportunity that extends to all businesses throughout a geographic region.
