Build a bridge for collective collaboration

We’ve made great strides in engaging residents, businesses and experts with the promise of an African American cultural enterprise district connected by a community land bridge. Let’s keep up the momentum. Let’s make some noise so we can build a bridge to better.

Join us at these upcoming events to connect, celebrate and learn how we can build a bridge to better together.
