OUR GOAL
To use the tools of economic development to strengthen communities through local entrepreneurship, transformative real estate development, and access to capital.
WHAT WE DO
GWDC fosters economic development in challenged communities by supporting, incubating, nurturing or creating core businesses, pursuing transformative and innovative real estate development and utilizing foreign direct investment in revitalizing and re-energizing commercial areas in the greater Chicago region.
