About Nicetown CDC
Working Together To Put The Nice Back In “The Town”
Mission
The NTCDC mission is to dynamically improve the quality of life in Nicetown and surrounding communities, by establishing sustainable community economic development.
We fulfill our mission with a holistic and inclusive approach to goals and objectives that prioritize public safety; mobilization through “re-education” and training; affordable housing development; commercial corridor revitalization; arts & culture, and land care. The capacity to implement these goals and objectives is optimized by our strategic partnerships, collaborations, and volunteerism, with those that share a common purpose with our mission.
History
The Nicetown CDC partnered with Scribe Video in 2005 to do a “oral history” project in cooperation with Temple University. We included students from Simon Gratz high school who were given the opportunity to learn the documentary process, from capturing the video to the final edits. “Putting The Nice Back in the Town” is a video perspective that depicts some of the historical treasures of Nicetown and the mission, goals and objectives of the Nicetown CDC.
Vision
Nicetown CDC envisions a future marked by sustainable prosperity and vibrant community development.
We aspire to create an environment where public health and safety are paramount, community members are empowered through re-education and training, affordable housing flourishes, commercial corridors thrive with revitalization, and arts, culture, and land care contribute to a rich tapestry of community life. Drawing from our decades of experience, we envision continued success in fostering economic growth, social services, small business empowerment, and community engagement. Our vision is a united, thriving Nicetown celebrated for its achievements and community strength.
