Mission

Vision

We aspire to create an environment where public health and safety are paramount, community members are empowered through re-education and training, affordable housing flourishes, commercial corridors thrive with revitalization, and arts, culture, and land care contribute to a rich tapestry of community life. Drawing from our decades of experience, we envision continued success in fostering economic growth, social services, small business empowerment, and community engagement. Our vision is a united, thriving Nicetown celebrated for its achievements and community strength.

History

The Nicetown CDC partnered with Scribe Video in 2005 to do a “oral history” project in cooperation with Temple University. We included students from Simon Gratz high school who were given the opportunity to learn the documentary process, from capturing the video to the final edits. “Putting The Nice Back in the Town” is a video perspective that depicts some of the historical treasures of Nicetown and the mission, goals and objectives of the Nicetown CDC.
