DISCUSSION: The MBDC is the development arm of the Mitchell Boulevard Model Blocks. After receiving the $1.2 million Model Blocks award in 1995, residents created and empowered the MBDC to carry out, on their behalf, housing, community, and economic development activities. The MBDC operates as a Community Housing Development Organization and as a Community Based Development Organization. This extension will allow the MBDC to fulfill its contractual obligations to the Mitchell Boulevard community and the City of Fort Worth. The MBDC is currently working on the construction of a commercial facility, which they will lease to various types of commercial/retail enterprises. This facility will provide services and economic opportunity for the area and provide an income stream to support the MBDC's continued operations. Leasing of the completed structure is scheduled to begin in the Fall 2001. As a housing provider, the MBDC is continuing to expand its capacity. They have completed the rehabilitation and sale of one home, and the construction of two homes for low/moderate income first- time homebuyers. They currently have one unit under construction, and three units scheduled to begin rehabilitation in the near future. The MBDC continues to acquire vacant lots and houses for its on- going housing development program. The MBDC is finalizing the purchase of the property, which is to be the site of the proposed neighborhood park. The design is complete, and construction should begin soon thereafter.
