NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION

OCCUR serves as a facilitator and intermediary bringing together neighborhood merchants/businesses, residents, government and community-based organizations to strengthen and stimulate the economic development potential of emerging communities.

OCCUR is currently collaborating with Mills College, Oakland City Councilmember Desley Brooks and various merchant associations in the community of Central/East Oakland on a major neighborhood revitalization effort that includes the facilitation of commercial facade improvement activity and streetscape planning.
