New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC)

#PatersonNJ teens who participated in the City Planning Institute, a two-week summer program, presented their plans for the city at our headquarters. This program introduces students to the field of City Planning as a potential career and new ways to think about their neighborhoods. For their final project, students created a redevelopment plan featuring more trash bins, night lights at the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, zip lining, city bikes, and so much more! NJCDC is a proud sponsor of the City Planning Institute, empowering the next generation to shape their communities. #CityPlanning #FuturePlanners #NJCDC
