5 'Community of Hope' proclaimed in Winston-Salem
.*
The Honorable Martha
;! Wood, mayor of Winston-Salem,
; announced by proclamation that
March 26, 1997, will be named
jjWinston-Salem Community
;; Economic Development Day.
;The proclamation is in recogni
tion of the outstanding commu
nity development exhibited in
^Winston-Salem through commu
^nity development corporations
^(CDCs) and other community
Prganizations using the
ommunity Development Block
rant (CDBG) program.
; Winston-Salem Community
; Development Day will occur in
; concert with hundreds of other
; cities across the country citing
; March 26, 1997, as National
; Community Economic
; Development Day. The National
J Congress for Community
; Economic Development
; (NCCED) in Washington, D.C.,
is the official sponsor of National
; CED Day. Mary Nelson, chair
; person of NCCED, said, "The
; effects of community-based
; development, often with great
j help from the CDBG program,
; have created a revolution of posi
- tive change in cities and towns
? around the country. This day of
? recognition is a way to spotlight
j that growth in Winston-Salem
and coordinate it with other
? efforts nationally."
Enacted into law in 1974,
. CDBG is the principal federal
j program providing grants to
i states, cities and towns to devise
? neighborhood approaches that
will improve the physical, eco
nomic and social conditions in
. communities. It is administered
! nationally by the U.S.
! Department of Housing and
? Urban Development (HUD), and
j locally by the City of Winston
: Salem's Housing/Neighborhood
! Development and Housing &
! Neighborhood Services
! Departments. According to
: Monica Lett, Ph.D., director of
both city departments, Winston
Salem expects to receive $1.9
million in new CDBG funds in
fiscal year 1997. These funds
, will directly affect the lives of
low- and moderate-income resi
dents throughout the City of
Winston-Salem.
All churches are asked to
; pause for a special moment of
; prayer on Sunday, March 23, for
; "Community of Hope," the
theme for this year's commemo
? rations. It is the belief of com
? munity development profession
Z als that communities die because
?
of a lack of hope. Crime, the
blight of abandoned or unkept
properties, poverty, and little or
no economic development, leave
the residents of these communi
ties feeling abandoned, power
less and disenfranchised. An
essential part of community
development, but often over
looked, is the human develop
ment aspect. "If you don't uplift
the thinking, skills, personal
wealth, and dreams of the peo
ple, there s no use in rehabilitat
ing or building new brick and
mortar, stated James Grace,
executive director of East
Winston Community
Development Corporation. "If
you can't improve people's lives,
give them hope for the future,
present evidence that their out
look is brighter than the present,
something dies inside. Giving
everybody an equal place at the
table, taking on projects because
the community will benefit
where there is no profit is our
job," he concluded.
The Church & CED
Partnership will sponsor a lun
cheon for community ministers
who support community eco
nomic development on Tuesday
March 25. The 11:30 a.m. lun
cheon will provide an opportuni
ty for .,ocal Past?rs to discuss
possibilities for church involve
ment in local community devel
opment, and to hear presenta
tions to update them on existing
and planned community develop
ment projects. The luncheon will
be held at First Baptist Church,
700 Highland Ave. (across from
Forsyth County Mental Health)
The Church & CED Partnership,
formed in 1995 to support com
munity development in East
Winston, is an alliance among
the Economic Development
Committee of the Ministers
Conference of Winston-Salem &
Vicinity, East Winston
Community Development
Corporation, and local ministers
who may not belong to The
Conference.
On Wednesday, March 26,
the City of Winston-Salem will
sponsor the second of two
Community Development
Forums. Scheduled to be held at
7:30 p.m. in the meeting room
on the second floor of City Hall,
this forum will provide an oppor
tunity for citizens to learn about
various ways in which CDBG
funds will be spent and allow a
channel for residents to give their
input.
Throughout the week, any
one interested in learning more
about community development
and what it entails, or who may
want to learn more about East
Winston Community
Development Corporation
specifically and what it does, is
invited to drop by during regular
business hours for a brief tour of
their facilities.
Acknowledging the contri
bution to the City of Winston
Salem through community devel
opment, Mayor Wood empha
sized the importance of partner
ships at all levels of government
to create successful community
development projects. "The
CDBG program enables cities
such as ours to address the physi
cal, economic and human ser
vices needs of our low- and mod
erate-income neighborhoods.
CDCs evaluate and respond to
these needs through innovative
and inclusive projects and pro
grams such as housing, job cre
ation, and commercial develop
ment," said the mayor.
"Community Development Day
provides us with an opportunity
to reflect on the significant role
that community economic devel
opment plays in making
Winston-Salem a more viable
place to live," she continued.
Community Development
activities held across the nation
for the week of March 23-29,
1997, will be attended by feder
al, state and local officials, as
well as housing and community
development advocates, organi
zations and neighborhood resi
dents. Local activities will
include the following:
Sunday, March 23 ? A
moment of prayer for
"Community of Hope" (all
churches throughout Winston
Salem)
Tuesday, March 25, 11:30
am. ? Free luncheon for local

Community Development, 700
Highland Ave. (First Baptist
