Eastside Community Network, the former Warren/Conner Development Coalition, has been engaging the community in resident-led planning, community development, youth programming, green infrastructure, and neighborhood stabilization programs for more than 30 years. More than $25 million in brick-and-mortar investment has been leveraged as a central community park was upgraded and as several commercial areas were rehabilitated. Along the way, thousands of residents have been engaged in the Lower Eastside Action Plan (LEAP) planning process that has gained national acclaim for community empowerment achievement; and hundreds of youths have gained leadership skills and substance abuse deterrent experience to ensure success in life.
