The afternoon program engaged participants in breakout discussions around each of the four community development goals to identify key priorities and next steps to advance the Purple Line Community Development Agreement.

    • Housing: Housing Opportunities for All Income Levels
    • Small Business: Small Business Preservation & Sustainability
    • Workforce: Thriving Labor Market and Effective Workforce Development
    • Neighborhoods/Community: Vibrant, Thriving Neighborhoods that Preserve Culture and Character
