Now in its 42nd year, the nonprofit Community Development Corp. has a mission to underpin the stability and sustainability of Long Island's economy. It helps small businesses with loans and homeowners with financial education, grants for energy efficiency and weatherization, and ways to avoid foreclosure. It also provides rental assistance to more than 4,000 households.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo last year appointed Marianne Garvin, CDC's president and chief executive, to the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council; she served as co-chair of its writers group. The council's five-year strategic plan helped win $101 million in state funding for Long Island projects.
