LeMoyne-Owen College and the LeMoyne-Owen Community Development Corporation (CDC) will use Historically Black Colleges and Universities resources to revitalize the LeMoyne-Owen Community, located in the heart of Memphis. To accomplish this goal the college and the CDC will undertake four major activities: build the capacity of the CDC to address the priority needs of the community and the city; provide financial/technical assistance for community development by assisting businesses and encouraging the creation of new jobs that are community based; perform residential and commercial development that will address the priority needs of housing and unemployment; and promote economic expansion by attracting businesses to the neighborhood and developing minority businesses.
