“I grew up in big cities with the benefits of close-knit neighborhoods. Pittsburgh’s steel industry, ethnic neighborhoods, and the civil rights movement shaped my environmental and social justice and equity values. As a teen living in Washington D.C., I witnessed homelessness emerge as a symptom of how our real estate system segregates winners and losers by race and income. These experiences motivated me to pursue community and economic development in Vermont’s rural communities, where collaboration between municipalities and nonprofits often delivers community benefits to a greater degree than either can provide alone.
CommonLand’s focus is on community development projects that further healthy, stable, and equitable communities.
