The Greater Dwight Development Corporation (GDDC) is a tax-exempt social enterprise that invests in the social and economic life of the Dwight Community in New Haven, CT. Formed in 1994 by neighborhood residents and their partners, GDDC has been instrumental in revitalizing the Dwight neighborhood through various initiatives, including expanding childcare services and establishing new home child care centers.
The Dwight neighborhood, originally a vast area of farmland adjacent to downtown and Yale University, is now a vibrant and multicultural community. With its rich history of Victorian architecture and inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, the Dwight community has overcome challenges of declining homeownership and investment to become a thriving urban environment. GDDC recognizes the efforts of its leadership, including Mayor Toni Harp, in driving the redevelopment and community initiatives that have contributed to the positive transformation of New Haven.
