Community Economy Working Group

We’ve formed a Community Economy Working Group comprised of community members and stakeholders that will meet regularly to discuss strategies to help make the vision and goals outlined in our plan a reality. To receive notifications of upcoming meetings, please contact us to be added to our mailing list or follow the Northeast Wilmington Blueprint Community on Facebook!

Vision

A community with a vibrant economy where businesses thrive and grow, where community members are able to spend their dollars in their own community, and where living wage jobs are available to community residents.

Goals

  • Increase the number of businesses and jobs in the Northeast by supporting start-ups and encouraging the relocation and expansion of existing businesses.
  • Improve the appearance of commercial districts and fill vacant commercial and retail properties.
  • Support workforce development programs to increase employment and jobs.
