Exciting news! In partnership with Ranken Technical College & 4TheVille, SLDC is one of 8 coalitions selected by the New Growth Innovation Network (NGIN) for the SCALE (Strategic Capacity for Advancing Local Economies) program! SCALE is a 12-month initiative designed to help Small & Midsized Cities advance community wealth & commercial real estate projects through coaching, peer learning, technical assistance & project support. Participating coalitions will also take part in a fully funded immersive learning trip to Cincinnati in late October to explore best practices in community-led economic development.
As part of the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Track, the St. Louis coalition will focus on building neighborhood wealth in The Ville by combining commercial redevelopment with workforce training, local ownership models & community-led cultural initiatives. SCALE coalitions in the CRE strengthen business corridors, create community-owned assets, and expand Black entrepreneurship.
