Inspiring and Empowering Neighborhood Change

Holly City Development Corporation serves as catalyst for neighborhood change. The projects and programming that are implemented are derived from feedback we receive from a multitude of stakeholders including: residents, business owners and 40+ partner agencies. We take a grassroots approach to our engagement efforts, meeting people where they are and providing opportunities to share what they envision for their community.

Projects and Programs

Holly City Development Corporation’s projects and programs are the very heart of our work to revitalize the center city neighborhood of Millville. At the center of everything we undertake are three foundational pillars: Economic Development, Housing, and Community Development.

Housing

Housing is one of three primary areas of focus at Holly City Development Corporation. Projects to date include housing rehabilitation grants, abandoned property demolition, and lot acquisition and construction projects including down payment and closing cost assistance.

We offer a variety of resources that help downtown Millville business owners thrive.
