SitemapNearly 200 community development professionals from across Ohio and the region will gather here and virtually next week for the 37th Annual Conference of the Ohio CDC Association.
Meeting at the DeYor Performing Arts Center, DoubleTree by Hilton Youngstown Downtown, and The Youngstown Flea, this year’s conference highlights the Mahoning Valley’s resiliency, community economic development, and partnerships and collaborations.
“Community development corporations across the state are empowering communities to take local action creating local results,” says Nate Coffman, executive director of the Ohio CDC Association. “Given the pandemic’s disparate impacts on low-income and communities of color, the work of community developers is increasingly vital to an equitable recovery. We’re excited to visit Youngstown to shine a light on their collaborative spirit and innovative strategies that are improving the quality of life and creating economic opportunities throughout the Mahoning Valley.”
