The National Black Chamber of Commerce (\u201cNBCC\u201d) is launching a prototype project that if successful will transform minority, low-income and rural communities from forgotten places into entrepreneurial hubs of economic innovation. Our goal is to create communities with access to 5G technology, integrated into low-income housing, job training, and access to telemedicine and social services. It will all be done with private sector resources.<\/p>\n

If this prototype is successful, it will revolutionize economic development in these distressed areas.<\/p>\n

We have the city, we have political and church support. We have private sector developers who will bid on the project.<\/p>\n

To start this transformative effort NBCC needs your financial support to begin the on-the-ground planning work to convert the idea into a clear, workable plan that can be implemented. We need to raise $25,000 in the next month to develop the plan. That is only $25 from a thousand members or friends or $50 from five-hundred or $100 from two-hundred and fifty members or friends. If each of you makes a small donation, we will have the resources to develop this plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
