Slow but steady progress, even amid a pandemic.

As COVID-19 slowly recedes and our community begins tentative steps toward normalcy, it is important to point out that the Avondale Development Corporation continued to make strong progress against its strategic goals throughout the pandemic.

Funders like First Financial Bank have made that possible. With their support, ADC was able to pivot its successful Avondale Economic Mobility Fund to focus on providing relief for residents impacted by COVID-19 while also move forward on its Hale Avenue housing development. 

Our talented and dedicated staff made critical changes to our resident engagement efforts, moved forward with our Quality of Life program and continued predevelopment work on our three real estate projects – all of should break ground this year, resulting in 91 mixed housing units. 

Avondale can’t afford to lose its hard-fought momentum, even in a pandemic. ADC – working collaboratively with an amazing array of funders, supporters, companies and organizations – has made sure that didn’t happen. While we’re eager to have this pandemic in our rearview mirror, we will always look back proudly on how we weathered the storm.
