The competition gives a team of students an opportunity to partner with a New Orleans nonprofit organization to develop a real estate project that is feasible, sustainable, and helps to build and strengthen the local community.
The 2008 JPMorgan Chase Community Development Competition took place in New Orleans after 14 years in New York City. Chase worked with Enterprise and the city’s Office of Recovery and Development Administration to create a rewarding experience for college and graduate students. The competition also sought to help build momentum for the city’s redevelopment, challenging students to create a real estate development proposal for one of the city’s 17 targeted recovery zones. Enterprise managed and coordinated the competition.
