HarlemCDC

Harlem Community Development Corporation ("Harlem CDC"), a New York State Public Benefit Corporation and subsidiary of Empire State Development Corporation ("ESD"), was created in 1995 to serve the greater Harlem community, including El Barrio/East Harlem, Central Harlem, West Harlem and Washington Heights. Through the creation of partnerships, Harlem CDC plans and facilitates a wide range of community revitalization initiatives, implementing an economically and culturally vibrant community.

By targeting vacant or underutilized commercial and residential property and publicly-owned spaces, Harlem CDC and its partners are able to attract new businesses, retain and grow existing businesses, provide access to home ownership opportunities for area residents, create employment opportunities and improve the quality of life and the environment within upper Manhattan.

Harlem CDC has four primary departments: Commercial, Residential, Planning and Weatherization
