Come out and join us as we raise money to help acquire vacant and abandoned properties along the South Grand Blvd Corridor, South of Gravois Rd. TGCDC, from it’s 2022-2026 business plan, identified this part of South Grand Blvd as a concentrated geography for future investments. This approach worked extremely well for the 3600-2700 blocks of Bamberger Ave and Hydraulic Ave where TGCDC owns and manages about 50 units of affordable housing and has reclaimed and renovated about a dozen vacant properties.

At the event, we will celebrate David Tallent for his Communuity Service through the Better Bevo Now Neighborhood Association , Carol Howard for her civil service as Alderwoman of the former 14th Ward, and Joe Ambrose, First Bank, for his Community Impact through banking.
