About Nice Town CDC
Nice Town CDC Mission
The mission of the Nicetown CDC is to establish comprehensive socio-economic development initiatives for the residents of Nicetown and the surrounding communities. We intend to fulfill our mission with holistic goals and objectives that prioritize establishing safety and security; “re-education” and training; commercial corridor and affordable housing development; and neighborhood park improvement projects.
Nice Town CDC History
The Nicetown Community Development Corporation (NTCDC) was organized in 1999 by founding members who collectively bring years of experience in developing the community in a diverse range of areas, ranging from commercial-economic development, social services, entrepreneurship training, to community education and mobilization. Clearly illustrating expertise and success in the area of economic development and construction/property management are their facilities: the NTCDC headquarters, which is housed in a former abandoned warehouse located at 4414 Germantown Avenue. This historic building has been totally redeveloped, and houses Z&Z Distributors, Solutions Banquet Hall, and the NTCDC Corporate Complex. The Nicetown CDC Community Center (4300 Germantown Avenue) was a former abandoned property that was redeveloped by the NTCDC in 2004. This active facility has become the hub of the Nicetown community, and is headquarters for the Nicetown CDC/NAC, Northwest Curfew Center, and the NTCDC Computer Center.
