dc.description.abstractThis paper examines how Beltsville, Maryland could create a community development corporation (CDC) to pursue development opportunities. Effective CDCs blend strong community engagement and service provision, secure funding from diverse sources, operate with robust governance, and employ local leaders and staff. This report’s findings are a result of combining several research methods including interviews, reports, and a site visit. We recommend that Beltsville establish a CDC to facilitate the community’s development.
