Mosaic Development Partners is committed to making a meaningful impact in our community, and our initiatives at Sharswood Ridge exemplify this dedication. In addressing the pressing issue of limited access to essential services, we've transformed an area previously classified as a food desert by introducing a grocery store. This not only brings convenient and fresh food options to the community but also contributes to the overall well-being of the residents. Furthermore, we've taken steps to enhance healthcare and financial services accessibility by establishing an urgent care center and a bank. These additions provide quality healthcare and financial resources to an area that previously lacked these vital options, thus improving the quality of life for the local population. Our collaboration with the Philadelphia Housing Authority has resulted in the creation of 98 affordable housing units, addressing the critical need for affordable housing in the region and promoting community stability. Additionally, we've actively engaged with our community by hosting a master plan event for the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This event serves as an educational platform, informing our citizens about the Navy Yard Master Plan, which has the potential to generate 20,000 jobs and expand affordable housing opportunities. Lastly, our commitment to education and workforce development is exemplified through our support for the Navy Yard Skills Initiative. By providing high school graduates with accelerated training programs tailored to our businesses at the Navy Yard, we're helping them secure employment opportunities that might traditionally require a college degree. Mosaic Development Partners remains dedicated to enriching our community, fostering growth, and improving the lives of our fellow citizens.
