More about Russell: A Place of Promise (RPOP)
RPOP is a justice-based initiative focused on generating investments in the people and places that make the Russell neighborhood special. With hundreds of millions in planned and underway investment, Russell is poised to experience a neighborhood renaissance. Our vision is to co-create and co-lead strategies with Russell residents that support Black wealth building and lead to investment without displacement of residents or businesses.
Our vision of building Black wealth through investment without displacement includes connecting individuals and families to resources leading to homeownership and traditional and nontraditional business ownership; building pathways and opportunities to strengthen existing Black-owned businesses; creating innovative connections to career-track jobs; and community ownership of neighborhood assets.
