The Northwest Side Community Development Corporation (NWSCDC) in Milwaukee has been awarded a federal grant of $677,000 to improve the business environment for low-income communities in the city.
The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Community Services awarded the grant to help promote economic development in the city through services such as tenant job training, business recruitment, and defraying costs of leasehold improvements for new tenants.
Howard Snyder, executive director of NWSCDC, said, "This continues a 25-year relationship with DRS Power and Controls Technologies, a great company located in the heart of Milwaukee's 30th St. Industrial Corridor. We are thrilled to have the chance to work toward rebuilding the corridor, investing in new small businesses and linking job needy residents to these opportunities."
"NWSCDC has been committed to revitalizing Milwaukee's central city neighborhoods, and has been successful in creating jobs that have assisted the city's low-income residents," said U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.). "I am pleased to have been able to help NWSCDC in its mission to improve the business environment for Milwaukee communities."
The NWSCDC is a non-profit community economic development agency that has served Milwaukee for more than 15 years. For more information on NWSCDC, visit http://www.nwscdc.org.
