Strategic Vision
Core
Values
LISC’s
business is community revitalization, broadly conceived. We pursue that goal by investing in four
general areas:
We believe:
- Local initiative builds communities
- Place matters
- Physical development matters
- Physical development is not sufficient by itself
- CDCs, flexibility defined, embody these principles
