Residents Driving Change

Investment in Innovation and Shared Learning

The Village at Market Creek is about finding new approaches to old obstacles. In many ways, Market Creek is a "hands on" learning laboratory for a host of fields striving to understand the dynamics of sustainable community revitalization.

The resident-driven work continues to attract a network of learning and investment partners committed to advancing new approaches to community building, equitable development, social enterprise, and community ownership.

The Village depends on investment that fuels innovation. A national dialog on meaningful community development continues to grow.

We believe in the potential of residents to change their own neighborhoods.
