Dutchtown South Community Corporation (DSCC) is hosting a neighborhood leadership academy for residents in South St. Louis city, particularly Benton Park West, Gravois Park, and Dutchtown. The leadership academy is designed for residents to grow skills for implementation of the Gravois Jefferson Historic Neighborhoods Plan, adopted in May 2018 by the City's planning commission.

These activities are funded in part by a grant from HUD via the St. Louis Community Development Administration and InvestSTL, an initiative the St. Louis Community Foundation.

Workshop 4 - The Intersection of Community and Business
This workshop should explore the intersection of community development and economic development. How can developers work with neighborhood and community organizations towards economic development? How can this work be done with a racial equity lens? Trainers will address shared goals and strategies to attract residents, businesses, and their employees to a community.
