The investment—the largest ever awarded to the The Real Estate Council community fund—will go toward catalytic development and projects, as well as access to resources in the Forest District, The Bottom, and a West Dallas Census Tract.
Last week, TREC's Associate Leadership Council Class of 2019, Bike Friendly South Dallas, and Cornerstone Baptist Church opened the We-Cycle Resource Center in the Forest District. It's the latest milestone in TREC’s efforts to spur community-driven development.
The PRO Neighborhoods grant will be used to create a roadmap for bolstering equitable progress in three vulnerable Dallas neighborhoods: the Forest District in Southern Dallas/Fair Park, “The Bottom” neighborhood in East Oak Cliff, and West Dallas.
