ABOUT US

Rockaway Development & Revitalization Corporation was organized in 1978 by a diverse group of community leaders to address the dire social and economic conditions that existed throughout the Rockaways. Rockaway Development & Revitalization Corporation or RDRC as we know it today was created in 1987 as a result of the consolidation of two smaller agencies that previously served the eastern and western areas of the Rockaways. In 1988, a further expansion of services took place when RDRC merged with a state chartered housing preservation organization and developed Rockaways first peninsula-wide professionally staffed community-based job placement and training program. The outcome of these mergers and program expansions resulted in the creation of Rockaways first peninsula-wide community development organization represented by all major ethnic groups, business and civic leaders.
