AKA Spring Garden CDC

Its mission is to revitalize the Spring Garden neighborhood by eliminating crime, blight, poverty, and the effects of poverty; redeveloping areas of the community that have become run down and seedy; stimulating investment in the area; providing housing opportunities for individuals of all income levels; enhancing educational, employment, health care and recreational opportunities for area youths, adults and seniors; providing a storefront office for community outreach and services; neighborhood beautification and cleanliness projects ; cultural events and opportunities; and many other programs

Among its activities are the provision of a team of sweepers to keep the neighborhood neat and tidy, a free summer day camp for area youths (and sponsorship of young people for overnight camps throughout the region and the U.S.), and an art teacher for the local grade school.
