Mexicantown Community Development Corporation

Mexicantown Community Development Corporation

Mexicantown Community Development Corporation (MCDC) was a not-for-profit organization formed in 1989 to foster economic development in the Hispanic community of Southwest Detroit, known as Mexicantown.

As a Community Development Corporation, MDCD has a community mission for Mexicantown that includes promoting local businesses to a wider audience, cultural education and enrichment, improving and maintaining parks and streetscapes, increasing economic self-sufficiency through job training and incubation, and reusing vacant land for new development.

The territory previously served by MCDC is now served by Southwest Detroit Business Alliance.
