About Greater Southwest Development
Corporation (GSDC)
Greater Southwest Development Corporation (GSDC)
is a nonprofit community development corporation that actively contributes to
residential, commercial, and industrial revitalization efforts in Southwest
Chicago.
Established in 1974, GSDC provides resources,
education, technical assistance, and financial support that positions
neighborhoods to compete for investment and maintain a mixed-income economy. By
working to combat disinvestment and reverse decline, GSDC helps ensure that the
southwest side of Chicago will continue to grow as a neighborhood of choice in
which to live and work.
GSDC is a recognized leader in community
development at both the local and national levels. In 2001, the organization
earned the Community Development Corporation of the Year award from Chicago's
Local Initiative Support Corporation. In addition, Chicago's Housing
Commissioner, Jack Markowski, heralded GSDC as the premier community development
corporation in Chicago.
