Market Creek Plaza will be Community-Owned
JCNI undertook the challenge of working with the community to develop an ownership strategy for residents and stakeholders. Creating ways to build profits that can be re-invested in the neighborhoods is the backbone of the unique wealth creation strategy that emerged from the Ownership Design Team. The team's work was modeled on the Native American tribes' theory of thirds: a third for personal benefit, a third for community benefit, and a third for on-going development.

What has been launched is a self-generating system of wealth creation in the neighborhood. Profits from the Plaza will go back into the neighborhood through a neighborhood-controlled community foundation. This will provide ongoing access to resources generated from within the community for future projects or services. In addition, a portion of Market Creek Plaza's profits will provide resources for ongoing commercial development within the neighborhood.
