Over the past 45 years, Dorchester Bay has expanded its scope to focus on comprehensive economic development, placing a new emphasis on long term economic planning and job creation, as well as resident and community resources. Our trajectory can be measured by the scope of our work and the dollars we’ve invested. Looking ahead to the next 45 years, we are excited about the opportunities on the horizon. Our 45th year serves as a launchpad for new initiatives and innovative solutions to address the evolving needs of our community, including:

• Increasing access to capital for businesses that are marginalized by traditional lending practices. 

• Leveraging the strength of our resources and expertise to create economic opportunities for smaller Black, Brown, and underserved developers. 

• Connecting job seekers to employment with living wages, benefits, and training and growth opportunities.
