Tom Fudge:
Social enterprise is an interesting concept. It's a form of investment where profit isn't entirely the goal. In fact, some people call it "philanthro-capitalism." But enough of the new speak. Let's talk about something happening today in San Diego.
The new
Joe and Vi Jacobs Center
will be opening at Market Street and Euclid Avenue in City Heights. It's part of the existing
Market Creek Plaza
. The plaza was developed as a shopping center, but also as a way of bringing investment and entrepreneurship to the neighborhood.
Guest:
-
Jennifer Vanica,
president and CEO of
Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation
, which developed Market Creek Plaza in Southeast San Diego.
- Donna Gambrell, director of U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund , which promotes investment in underserved communities.
