Serving communities should be the primary purpose of community and economic development initiatives, but it is far too easy for the leaders of such programs to lose sight of that mandate, and focus instead on satisfying outside real estate developers. When that happens, the lion’s share of the benefits leak out of the community, and the new developments often create unintended consequences for the people who live there.
Good Hood facilitates collaboration around the economic and community development of a city or neighborhood in a manner that helps residents and government representatives make sure that the community receives adequate long-term benefit from proposed improvements. Drawing on expertise in both community planning and economic development, Good Hood supports fair and transparent co-creation of a community’s future.
