SitemapMore than 200 community development professionals from across the state will gather in the city and virtually Wednesday through Friday for the Ohio CDC Association’s 37th annual conference.
This year’s conference will highlight the Mahoning Valley’s resiliency, community economic development and partnerships and collaborations. Meetings will take place at the DeYor Performing Arts Center, DoubleTree by Hilton Youngstown Downtown and The Youngstown Flea.
“Community development corporations across the state are empowering communities to take local action creating local results. 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,” Nate Coffman, executive director of the Ohio CDC Association, said in a news release. “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.”
