Old Northeast loses community development corporation

Posted on Oct 14, 2009 by BlogKC

The city’s historic Old Northeast area recently lost is Community Development Corporation (CDC), Old Northeast, Inc. In KC, CDCs are local non-profits that work on neighborhood stabilization, revitalization, housing development, crime reduction, social services, etc.  The northeast CDC served neighborhoods like Pendleton Heights, Scarritt Renaissance, Indian Mound, etc. ONE’s closure leaves a big void in a part of the city with a lot of potential and lot of needs.

    The real cost of the Sprint Center and P&L District has been the neighborhoods in KC. Old Northeast, Inc. is just the latest in a long string of CDC collapses in the last couple of years. Money that WAS going to neighborhoods got re-routed to downtown development. KC has gone from “one of the most live-able cities in America” to a “nice place to visit, but you don’t want to live there.”
