Our Mission

                          ..For the community, by the community, and making a difference!

The MC CDC participates in, and encourages, community development for the community and by the community. Our focuses are, but are not limited to quality affordable housing, economic-development, employment, and training.

At the core of the MC CDC’s mission, is a goal to create rent-to-own housing opportunities, while simultaneously addressing affordable home-ownership for the “Workforce” and moderate-income class. At the completion of proposed developments, the MC CDC will ultimately assist families in finding and maintaining affordable housing with nearby retail space to service community’s needs.

The MC CDC was formed also plans to aggressively pursue commercial opportunities that will complete and compliment the development and revitalization of the community.
