Clark University and the Main South Community Development Corporation: A 30-Year Partnership for Neighborhood Revitalization in Worcester
HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.
On August 11, 2016, Clark University president David Angel presided over the opening of the Alumni and Student Engagement Center, the newest building at the 130-year-old liberal arts university. The center represents the latest aspect of an evolving relationship between the university and the Main South neighborhood, which has gone from addressing town-gown issues to forming a community development corporation and establishing an ongoing partnership promoting revitalization efforts that benefit both Clark University and the Main South neighborhood.
