Our Vision
CDC has historically achieved its mission by expanding local business operations, increasing employment opportunities, and helping to rebuild the civic fabric in West Coconut Grove communities.

Our Background
Since 2008, CDC has been a nonprofit cornerstone of community development across Miami-Dade County.
