Tri-City CDC
www.tri-citycdc.org
Tri-City Community Development Corporation (Tri-City) was legally incorporated on January 21, 1999 as a collaborative effort between several faith-based organizations, a few local businesses & schools, and area residents. It is an extension of the outreach ministry of the
New Mt. Hermon Missionary Baptist Church.
Environmental Change through Community Cooperation
This project came into existence due to the recently documented findings of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality which discovered that our community residents are suffering from toxic pollutants being released into the atmosphere. This is due to the negligence of our neighboring large corporations which produce and/or refine combustible resources like Oil, Waste, Salt, and others.
Unique Opportunity...
This offering is a Computerized Remediation Program that runs for 10 weeks and focuses on local youths between the ages of 6 and 12yrs. The program is for parents that want their children to have supplemental educational experiences. This National Program is offered through Tri-City at half the cost based on our unique partnership!
Veterans Appreciation Program
Quarterly Event Series
Tri-City CDC has created a quarterly events series leading to Veteran’s Day provided through encouragement, resource support, fellowship, and a greater appreciation of those from the Southwest Detroit community, who serve or have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day activities can start before Veterans Day.

History
Who we are...
Tri-City Community Development Corporation was legally incorporated on January 21, 1999, as a collaborative effort between several faith-based organizations, local businesses, local schools, and area residents. It is an outgrowth of the outreach ministry of New Mt. Hermon Missionary Baptist Church and the brainchild of both the Pastor of NMH Reverend Dr. Alex R. Hill, Sr. & the late, great Reverend Dr. William J. Smith, who served as an associate minister and was the co-founding CEO of Tri-City.
Dr. Smith served faithfully from 1999 to 2015 when he started experiencing health challenges which he ultimately succumbed to in early 2016. His wife of 33 years, Mrs. Loretta Smith is the current CEO.
