About Community Resources
What is Community
Resources?
Community Resources is a non-profit community improvement corporation (CIC) with deep roots in Yellow Springs and Miami Township. Community Resources (CR) aims to foster and support economic and cultural life in the community by coordinating and supporting the efforts of local government, community organizations and local businesses. CR works on projects that promote a healthy economic base for the community in ways that are consistent with the values of the community. It seeks to improve the tax base by retaining local businesses and attracting those that are community-friendly. CR strives to understand how the local economy functions, to consider how events may impact the area, and to share this information with the entire community.
Community Resources is actively pursuing the development of a community-friendly commerce and education park that will maintain and improve the community tax base. Information about the progress of this project is available in the Reports section. In addition, CR maintains this Internet database of community resources to help current residents and those from outside of the area match their needs and strengths with those of the community. CR plays an active role in business retention by monitoring the health of local merchants and manufacturers. When problems are detected, CR assists by focusing community attention and resources.
