Our next Community Capital Live interview features Adriana Abizadeh, Executive Director of the Kensington Corridor Trust. The KCT fosters the equitable economic revitalization of a commercial corridor and its surrounding neighborhood through local partnerships, strategic programming, and an innovative approach to moving real estate assets out of the speculative private market.
Kevin Jones of Neighborhood Economics, Stephanie Swepson Twitty and Jazmin Rogers of Eagle Market Streets, and Michael Shuman of The Main Street Journal will host a twice-monthly interview series with community investment fund leaders nationwide. They will help decode the DNA of different designs, enabling you and your community to replicate them.
Running the show is Joel Skene, whose Mindful Marketplace is already introducing local investment concepts to thousands of listeners. Co-sponsors include The Main Street Journal, Neighborhood Economics, American Independent Business Alliance, and ImpactAlpha. Data from each show will ultimately feed a public wiki to help you build support for your own community’s fund.
