Since its inception, RDRC’s major priority has been to
serve as a catalyst for the community's revitalization by initiating community
development activities which remove barriers to economic growth, stimulate the
local economy, and create jobs. RDRC’s multi-service programs enhance the
quality and diversity of educational offerings for Peninsula students, reduce
the blight and neglect of our neighborhoods, and assist our residents in
overcoming the community's severe geographic and social isolation.
RDRC services are delivered by its four divisions:
Business and Professional Services; Real Estate Development; Workforce
Development; and School-Based Community Centers. to promote the revitalization
of the Rockaway community’s economic base and neighborhoods and to assist its
residents in securing an improved “quality of life.”
