All of Valley Restoration LDC's current and projected programs relate to our central missions, which are to improve the economic base of Manhattan Valley, to increase the job opportunities for the community's low- and moderate-income residents and to assist in the provision of low- and moderate-income housing in Manhattan Valley. Valley Restoration Local Development Corporation continues to develop new programs to strengthen the area's commercial corridors of small neighborhood businesses, to attract outside resources into the community as a source of jobs, to strengthen the economic foothold of the current residents and merchants by encouraging locally-owned proprietorships and business cooperatives, to provide additional affordable housing for Manhattan Valley's low- and moderate-income residents and to create projects that will provide Valley Restoration LDC with revenue.
