Building Economic Opportunity in the New Bowen Neighborhood

The Bowen redevelopment is not just about new buildings — it’s about creating real opportunities for residents. A key part of the plan focuses on supporting jobs, training, and small businesses so families have more pathways to stability and growth.

Bowen’s future includes programs that help residents gain new skills, find employment, and start or grow their own businesses. These investments are designed to keep economic opportunity close to home, strengthening both families and the wider community.

Key economic investments include:

• Job training and workforce development, helping residents prepare for careers in growing industries

• Support for small businesses, including resources that help local entrepreneurs start, expand, or scale their companies

• A business retention and recruitment fund to attract and sustain community-serving businesses in the area

• Partnerships focused on innovation and education, giving residents access to new tools and career pathways

• Opportunities linked to new construction, retail, and community facilities within Bowen

These efforts help ensure that as Bowen grows, residents can grow with it. By connecting people to jobs, education, and business support, the redevelopment strengthens the neighborhood’s economic foundation and opens doors for long-term success.
