Funded by JP Morgan Chase and launched in 2016, the Corridor Revitalization Fund has granted approximately $800,000 in forgivable loans to entrepreneurs, landlords, and developers located in Wilmington’s Central Business District.
The West Side of Wilmington was among the areas hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis and had some of the city’s highest concentrations of vacant properties, high poverty rates, and was one of Wilmington’s major crime spots. Following the success of the Market Street Corridor revitalization program, Solomon’s Court was an expansion of a successful launch of a corridor project to another corridor of the city.
Through a partnership with New Castle County, the Women’s Business Center at True Access Capital offers ongoing business-building programs in the historic Route 9 corridor Opportunity Zone, including our Community UP! business planning courses.
