Mayor Ras J. Baraka and West Ward Council Member Joseph A. McCallum will be holding a virtual community meeting on Thursday, July 30, at 7 p.m. on the City of Newark’s Facebook site at facebook.com/cityofnewark to introduce Newark residents to six small developers working in the West Ward Neighborhood Development Plan area. Viewers will learn how they became developers and about the plans for their individual projects. Following the discussion, the developers and city will answer questions from the audience. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the projects of the Newark small developers continue to move forward. Three of the six developers are women.
“Minority and women small developers are eager to redevelop neighborhoods that the downtown developers ignore,” said Mayor Baraka. “We provide them with opportunity to do so by selling land at low cost, providing grants to first-time home buyers, providing subsidies and streamlining regulations. Starting out, some of the smaller developers lack the capacity and do not know how to get projects financed, started and completed. Here in Newark, we teach them how.”
