Willams invited to participate at National Housing Revitalization Institute
JONESBORO – Beginning Tuesday, March 15th, Mickie Williams, the Clayton County Neighborhood Stabilization Program Manager will participate in a three day leadership institute at Harvard University. The forum presented by The Center for Community Progress (CCP) is being held to address issues regarding the high number of foreclosures affecting communities across the country.
The CCO is the nation’s preeminent organization concerned with prevention and adaptive reuse of vacant buildings and land. The Institute brings together urban planning and community development commissioners representing 14 communities from Georgia, New Jersey, Minnesota and Tennessee, all with large numbers of vacant properties and other challenges stemming from the recession and foreclosure crisis.
For the 14 participating communities, the Harvard sessions are only a beginning.
