The 63ʳᵈ Rising Empowerment Campus is a two-phase development serving as a gateway to the Historic 63rd Street Corridor. The Campus is designed to transform a chronically vacant but critical development corner on 63rd to expand Teamwork Englewood (TWE) programs and initiatives focused on restorative justice and economic advancement for the residents of Englewood.
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.
This work is rooted in arts and culture through the partnership with Englewood Arts Collective to showcase Englewood’s culture and history as a community but also to serve as an economic driver activating the 63rd Street corridor. As a Phase II, TWE plans to recruit a digital economy anchor tenant to bring jobs and innovation to Englewood.
