Thus, making it one of the poorest and most highly taxed cities in the nation. If no solution is found within the next 3 years, there will be a continued lack of participation in the decision making process that will limit the residents of the West End of Bridgeport's economic condition, employment opportunities, affordable housing and access to culturally sensitive social services. To develop and implement a grass roots leadership curriculum that improves the practice of democracy by building leadership at the community level. The leadership curriculum will focus on empowering people who have been traditionally under-represented although anyone who is interested in community leadership can participate."
