Please use this space to elaborate, contextualize, or add any additional info about the details submitted in your report:
The Englewood CIV steering committee includes Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, EGWOODE, Grow Greater Englewood, and Teamwork Englewood. These groups have been educating themselves on CIV models helping to narrow the mission and goals.This included a learning trip to learn about the Kensington Corridor Trust in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in November 2023. In January 2024 we added Growing Home to the steering committee. We have pushed the formal governance and any additional membership back until after we acquire a project manager. Receiving funding will allow us to begin to conduct hiring of consultants for additional support for research and data gathering for the team.In the last two months the steering committee has been mapping potential and current economic development projects within the community. This is helping to inform what a potential model can support in these targeted investments.
