PAMA PARTNERS

PAMA works with South Side organizations and stakeholders to strengthen the South Side. 

Parsons Avenue Revitalization Corporation (PARC)

Parsons Avenue Revitalization Corporation (PARC) works to eliminate blight, develop affordable housing, and catalyze redevelopment on the Parsons Avenue corridor. Their goal is to ensure that their work helps to break down the racial and economic barrier that Parsons Avenue has historically been and to bridge the two halves of our often-divided community.

PARC's mission is to support the redevelopment of Parsons Avenue by facilitating a sustainable center of commercial activity that creates a sense of place serving all South Side neighborhoods.

ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT IN MISSION FROM PAMA, PAMA AND PARC OFTEN WORK TOGETHER ON PROJECTS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY.
