Successful Legislative Campaign ends
MACDC's Campaign for Our Neighborhoods saw the remaining three policy issues - foreclosure relief, small business technical assistance funding and CDC statute modernization - all pass the legislature by July 31st. We were particularly proud that MACDC member NHS of South Shore hosted the signing of Chapter 258, An Act to Stabilize Neighborhoods. A video of the signing is to the right.
