Community Development

We bring new jobs and services to the York community by renovating blighted and historical buildings for use by local businesses.

Early Learning Center

The Early Learning Center, designed with green principles and young learners in mind, features a geothermal HVAC system, polycarbonate walls to allow light to filter into second floor classrooms, and York’s first roof-top playground. The Center provides children with a safe, and inspiring learning environment. Located at 50 East Boundary Avenue.

Greenway Tech Centre

The Centre was formerly a cigar factory, a furniture storage space, and a sewing factory at different points in its history. Through Crispus Attucks York’s revitalization efforts, the Greenway Tech Centre became the first green office building in York County. The LEED Silver Certified Centre is now occupied by Wellspan Health, bringing health services to downtown York. Located at 540 South George Street.

William C. Goodridge Freedom Center & Underground Railroad Museum

The William C. Goodridge Freedom Center and Underground Railroad Museum is the former home of William C. Goodridge. Crispus Attucks York renovated this historical home to form the Goodridge Freedom Center, which is the only African-American museum in York and one of the select few locations to be part of the National Park Service’s Network to Freedom as an authenticated site used in the Underground Railroad. Located at 123 East Philadelphia Street. Learn More >>

Himes Building

The former home of the Himes Motor Company, a car dealership in southern York City, the Himes Building is now owned by Junior Achievement to educate youth on work readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. Located at 610 South George Street.

Loretta Claiborne Building

In response to community demand, Crispus Attucks York organized the revitalization of the building to provide professional health services in the Southeast York neighborhood. The building, which now houses the Wellspan Community Health Center, was dedicated to York native and Special Olympian Loretta Claiborne in April 2001. The Loretta Claiborne Building provides space for education, healthcare, and food service professionals. Located at 605 South George Street.
