Abstract

Through the Dorrance H. Hamilton Center for Culinary Enterprises (CCE), The Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation (TEC-CDC) uses food as a means to spur community economic development in West Philadelphia. A commercial kitchen facility, the CCE is both a business incubator for early-stage food entrepreneurs and an important component of neighborhood revitalization. Through the CCE, TEC-CDC comprehensively addresses interrelated issues of access, knowledge, affordability, convenience and economic opportunity to empower food choices among West Philadelphia residents.
