Nicetown CDC History:
The NTCDC was founded in 1999 by members who bring a collective track record of decades of experience in developing the community. This includes economic, housing, and small business development, social service delivery, community engagement, and special events coordination. The Nicetown CDC headquarters is located at 4414 Germantown Avenue, a historically significant property which was purchased in 1997 and redeveloped by President/CEO Zakariyya Abdur Rahman. This multi-level building houses Z&Z Distributors, Solutions Banquet Hall, and the Nicetown CDC Corporate Complex. The facility is recognized as one of the strengths of Nicetown, and illustrates the NTCDC’s development capacity.
