Revitalizing our community for a better future

Our Strategy

Through comprehensive community development strategies, we work to help maintain healthy, safe and sustainable neighborhoods through an asset based community development approach where our families and small businesses can thrive. We are dedicated to helping our neighbors and businesses enjoy opportunities to succeed.

GAGDC has worked to: 

  • Organize residents and other community stakeholders to develop a Quality of Life Plan that integrates existing and planned activities.

  • Assess existing programs, identify service deficiencies, and generate organizational and community commitments to address them.

  • Partner with other organizations to collectively attract and integrate new and improved services, creating impactful quality recreational and social opportunities for the community.
