There’s federal development money out there for “Black communities” Go. Get. It.

How exactly will a non-developer or urban planner get paid from this initiative.
I understand the economic impact it can have on a community as a whole though.
But you make it sound like every one should rush to apply instead of developers, planners etc.
Do you realize how many underemployed black people there are itching for opportunities like this?
I'm talking with the prerequisite degrees and experience. I'm not just talking average people.
For those who can, this is an excellent opportunity.
Those funds would go toward these types of projects which would benefit the community as a whole which is a good thing.
However, this dude is misrepresenting what this program is intended to do.

Is it a good thing to have black developers doing things?
Yes, the problem is you are acting like the average Black person is an idiot if they don't rush to apply.
Check yourself and maybe your message would be better received.
Yep and we know what happens , black land ownership gets swallowed up if the community doesn’t grow with the money inflowing into it . Property values raise , taxes raise, food prices raise, people sell out early, others are priced out eventually - getrificstion happens.
All I’m saying is this is not a black program as I’ve read it and we need more black only programs that really addressed the specificity within these disadvantaged and marginalized communities
Not disagreeing with anything you’ve stated - just generally the framework needs to be more black specific
Exactly the last administration gave these Nogroes rent-a-spoons & tax breaks(if they was apart of the 10% financial population). You didn't hear wHeRe'S tHe MoNeY fOr OnLy BlAcK pEoPlE
Nope. We need programs to get black developers into positions of influence and infrastructure into projects the city needs to control, direct, and leverage investments and jobs to other black businesses and endeavors.

I want to interrupt this back in forth y’all having on here and ask a question
Is anybody in this thread from atl in a position to even apply for grants let alone take advantage of the money?
If not what is there to argue about?

Theres other jobs created when black firms get these jobs.
Its not just the developer. Its all the other jobs the developer needs down to catering, staffing, temp work, marketing, legal, events, etc.
I know a few people who have construction firms in ATL and other development firms that get minority contracts to do these jobs.
Broke busters like @Maquina want us all to be like her and her dusty cohort of do nothing losers.
Slowly changing your tune i see, now it’s we need black developers in positions tonsucceed
But you want to argue when I say we need more black developers period and in order to do that we need people in those communities to be taught the game start to finish
It’s clear you understand what I’m saying , but you don’t wanna own up to it because you’ve buried yourself to deep in being anti-whatever I say
1) what last administration ? The trump administration
Why don’t you just say that ?2) tax breaks ? The FPL is like 14k in most states - any break is great and meaningful for those in that 10% population but they need more than tax breaks
With all your individualistic views and blacks need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and the penchant to misgender folks - you sure could pull off being a republican
