| Tougaloo College will use a broad approach to addressing several critical needs of the residents within the Jackson Enterprise Community (EC). Using the city’s Consolidated Plans, Tougaloo College has identified community development priority needs to be job creation, entrepreneurial training, housing support systems for CDCs, and the clearing of blighted areas. In response to these needs, the college will develop a business incubator and renovate five houses in the target area. In addition, Tougaloo College will undertake predevelopment steps to redevelop a brownfield site as a job creation/ slum blight removal activity.
