Communities that have experienced social and economic decay have as one of their characteristics fragmentation within the confines of the neighborhood itself. Rather than coalescing and building, what occurs all too often is precisely the opposite -- polarization and abandonment. To address this issue, the First Baptist Community Development Corporation has facilitated the establishment of the Renaissance Neighborhood Association, a community structure that will lead and manage the community revitalization initiative. The Association accommodates development action that coordinates the utilization of existing resources, mobilizes and trains the primary stakeholders in healthy neighborhood action and interaction and facilitate problem-solving on the local level. The overall goal of this neighborhood enterprise component is the empowerment of the residents and business owners with the knowledge, skills, and incentives necessary to improve their quality of life and thereby revitalize their community.
