COLLABORATIVE CDC FORMS TO SUPPORT AREAS ALONG NORTHERN PART OF BRICKLINE GREENWAY
The Brickline North Community Development Corporation (BNCDC) was incorporated in August as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to empower individuals and neighborhoods served by the Brickline Greenway’s North Connector, namely Covenant Blu-Grand Center, Jeff-Vander-Lou (JVL), and St. Louis Place. It was signed into existence by representatives from each of the three neighborhoods it will serve, alongside T. Christopher Peoples, Director of Equity + Economic Impact for Great Rivers Greenway.
