RHCDA is sponsoring Green Jobs and Eco-Development, a free event featuring speaker Baye Adofo-Wilson, tomorrow, October 13, 2009, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the St. Louis Community College Meramec Campus.

Be sure to join USGBC-STL and St. Louis Community College for this free program on the creation of a sustainable, diverse community called the Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District.  This eco-village has revitalized a once abandoned, crumbling neighborhood in Newark, NJ which now boasts a workforce training program with an 80% placement rate and an annual music festival drawing thousands of people to the community.

RHCDA is Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance, a nonprofit organization that creates and supports the alliances that make smart, sustainable neighborhood revitalization possible in the St. Louis region.

"With their vast knowledge of St. Louis neighborhoods and communities, RHCDA helps us figure out how to channel our resources into projects that will have the most lasting impact, and into projects that contribute to broad-based efforts designed to uplift the entire region."
