The Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation (MLKEDC) has nurtured residential and commercial health of the local ... community for over 20 years by pulling together the historical neighborhoods of Harambee, Bronzeville, Halyard Park, Brewer’s Hill, and Riverwest (collectively known as the MLK Village). Each of these neighborhoods hold a unique history but they all face similar challenges when it comes to growing their communities. MLKEDC cultivates a community-minded approach to the development of the urban landscapes we share.

MLKEDC upgrades the living conditions for low-and moderate-income households by developing affordable housing and constructing commercial and office facilities built to serve the MLK Village neighborhoods. read more
