CDC's Board is made up of a diverse group of civic leaders, educators, lawyers and business women and men with a history of community action, dating back to early nineteen sixty-nine, when CDC was chartered as part of the Model Cities Program, a strategy in the Federal Government's "War on Poverty". CDC's contribution to the areas revitalization continues to this day with the most recent development project being a five acre site, between Albany and Fellows Streets that will become student housing for B.U. Medical School in the fall of 2011. Through the years the board has provided the foresight and leadership required to support a decades long revitalization effort.
