Claiborne Cultural Innovation District by Ujamaa Economic Development Corporation
About this Organization
Ujamaa aims to develop the Claiborne Corridor Cultural Innovation District (CID) and surrounding neighborhoods through sustainable development, preservation, and revitalization, ensuring equitable growth and cultural heritage preservation.
We empower Claiborne Corridor residents by promoting community involvement and connecting them with resources, such as municipal support and technical assistance for the Claiborne Merchants & Business Association.
We advocate for equitable prosperity by collaborating with key organizations to address economic disparities. With 42% of residents below the poverty level, we promote initiatives like fresh produce programs and "Right-to-Stay" sessions focused on anti-displacement and housing needs.
We support local entrepreneurship through events under the I-10 expressway, boosting sales by 10-30% for small businesses.
We uplift culture bearers, including musicians and Mardi Gras Indians, through strategies that showcase their work and foster opportunities within the CID.
Finally, we enhance quality of life by promoting green spaces that improve the environment, provide gathering places, and revitalize aesthetics with mural art.
