Economic Development

The Grace Hill Larry Parker Business Center located on our campus is an internal component of our faith-based agency. We have beaten the odds in our Old North Community through tenacious cultivation of "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." We bear the responsibility to mesh social and business objectives and to be able to relate these in business terms. There are also other significant continuing opportunities for Grace Hill:

Consensus building and clear prioritization of our community strengths and needs.

Linking residents of our poor communities with jobs, both within the Old North Community and outside it by using the "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" concept.

 

Providing effective links between businesses, local opportunity and people.

 

Providing social capital so often depends on services provided through our programs i.e, CO-CARE, Neighborhood College, Business Center and collaborations with local community groups.

 

Effective links between our business center and neighbors.
