As leaders of Austin’s African American Business Networking Association (AAABNA) and Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation (GAGDC), we have spent decades fighting against disinvestment in our South and West Side communities.
Historically, this commitment was not always shared by some leaders at City Hall. We learned early on we would have to fight for what Austin and Auburn Gresham residents deserve — economic prosperity, good-paying jobs and local commercial amenities.
