──────Who We Are──────
The Midtown Atlantic City Community Development Corporation (Midtown CDC) is a community-based effort to enhance the Midtown neighborhood of Atlantic City. Our team of residents, businesses, community leaders, and local agencies are working hard to ensure that this neighborhood realizes its full potential.
Our
Focus Areas
Community Enhancement
Community enhancement involves initiatives and projects aimed at improving the quality of life for residents and fostering a vibrant, inclusive environment. This includes beautifying public spaces, supporting local businesses, promoting sustainability, and providing resources and services that meet the needs of all community members. By engaging residents and encouraging collaboration, community enhancement efforts create a stronger, more resilient community where everyone can thrive.
Economic Development
Economic development focuses on creating a thriving local economy through initiatives that attract investment, support businesses, and generate employment opportunities. This involves strategic planning, infrastructure improvements, and fostering a favorable business climate. By enhancing economic stability and growth, these efforts aim to improve the standard of living for residents and ensure long-term community prosperity.
Housing
The Midtown CDC’s housing programs aim to provide safe, affordable, and quality housing options for individuals and families. These initiatives include education for first-time homebuyers, down payment assistance, home renovation grants, and the development of housing. By addressing diverse housing needs, these programs work to ensure that everyone has access to stable and sustainable living conditions.
Human Capital
Midtown CDC’s youth programs, and small business resources are an investment in people. In providing these resources, we help to grow capacity and increase opportunity for all residents. The Midtown CDC and its leadership understand that a strong economy begins with a trained and empowered workforce.
