About

Binghampton Development Corporation (BDC) is a community development nonprofit focused on improving the quality of life in the Binghampton community. Since 2003, the BDC has served the community of Binghampton and provides strategies for revitalization to shift the neighborhood from economic oppression to opportunity.

2. Community asset building — Binghampton Times newspaper, resident associations, the Greatest Gift Christmas Store, senior health seminars, youth summer entrepreneurial program

3. Support of personal capacity development — construction job training program, the Carpenter Art Garden, Cornerstone/Lester Prep and East High School after school activities, housing counseling, and free personal tax preparation

4. Economic development — Binghampton Gateway Center and supporting small business ownership by refugee and immigrant residents
