Englewood was once a hub of economic activity and commerce, but with the decline of jobs and opportunities, our vibrant local economy also faded. We want to build on the strengths of our community, including the skills and interests of our residents and our cultural assets which include our history as a booming commercial center, historic building stock and the living legacy of the neighborhood as told by residents.

The Jobs and Economic Development Task Force has steered community development in impactful ways. Various initiatives have been incubated and expanded from corridor development, workforce development programming and expansion, and small business support programming and events.
